When Your Kids Ask You to Go, Go!

June 7, 2008

 

 

My oldest son, Drew,  has been selling backhoes on eBay lately and making a great profit on each one.

 

That’s besides the houses and junk he’s still listing.

 

So this year he decided to go to eBay Live in Chicago in a few weeks to learn more.

 

The other day, he casually asked me if I wanted to go with him since he is going by himself.

 

Now, to go to a big city like Chicago is not this country girl’s favorite thing to do.

 

To book an expensive hotel room there is not my idea of a good investment.

 

And to book a flight this close to the departure date doesn’t seem very economical at all.

 

But when your 26 year old son asks you to join him at a professional event where he hopes to learn more about his interests and meet experts who can introduce him to others and to concepts that will take his business forward, should I say “no”?

 

I weighed the costs.

 

I weighed the eternal value of spending a weekend with my married son at yet another conference.

 

(I’ve escorted him to many since he was 18.)

 

And I determined that even though this oldest son has already left home and has a family of his own, he is one of my top priorities in life.

 

So this year, I will be going to eBay Live with Drew.

 

And we will be hanging out there with our new sponsors from Powerteam International and Franklin Covey.

 

We also have plans to meet with one of the speakers from our upcoming conference EntrepreneurDays.com, Kerim Emre, who is one of the featured speakers there.

 

Kerim is a Titanium PowerSeller who has created a system and ships 5,000 items per day!

 

So I think this event might just be eventful for us.

 

If you want to go, I’d love to meet you there… if you can make it!

 

 

 

So many books, so little time…

    I think that’s great that you two are doing things like that together! I can only hope that when my boys are grown they’ll still ask me to do stuff with them too.

Got something to say?
