Teach your kids that BUSINESS – not glamor – is what it’s ultimately about.

I’ll never forget a time watching the WWE when I was cheering old Stone Cold on. Who wouldn’t. Hehe. Iconic. Beating the crap out of the boss, getting away with it scot free.

It was only years later I realised who the real genius was – Vincent K macmahon!

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again regardless of the allegations being leveled against him currently – legend bar NONE.

“I want to be Stone cold”, I’d go. “Look what a fool he’s made of the idiot”.

My Dad who normally never has any good advice or any at all to offer, and if he does, doesn’t know how to communicate oy across right said the following.

“He’s the boss! He makes the most money”.

Coming from a guy that pretended to be a boss (big boss) his entire life, an interesting, wistful and TRUE comment.

Nothing wrong with being a movie star for one. It irritates me when people keep calling me that though I appreciate the compliment – but I’ve never wanted to be that, or a sportsperson earning millions.

Guess what.

Unless you know how to manage and keep that money, not unlike not just getting, but hooking long term – quality women – it’s a disaster waiting to happen.

The great Iron Mike going bankrupt after making millions is a case in point.

Lots of people boo this former Indian cricketer Hardik Pandaya for switching allegiances to a different franchise in this year’s Indian Premier League – probably by far the highest such paid league in the world.

If you research it, this guy is a highly talented player with an extravagant lifestyle boasting luxury cars, yachts – what not – and there ain’t nothing wrong with any of that.

But he invested way too much of his cash in a business venture which a partner took off with most of the profit if the news article I read is to be believed – and dude was left with barely any money, all that luxury to maintain.

Reached out to a very prominent Indian businessman – tycoon actually – for help – he got it, but on the condition that he switch allegiance to the tycoons IPL franchise as opposed to his prior one.

So the tale goes, at least. I have nil idea how true this is, but I have heard several such stories – enough to understand a glimmer of truth in a tale or more when I read it.

It’s not the movie stars that have the actual money. It’s the producers, the financiers – the BUSINESS men in short, that do.

And we need to teach our kids this, and many other related things. It’s not enough to simply throw them in at the deep end and say “business!” When the parents don’t know the first thing about it themselves.

Anyway…

I’ve covered it all (and missed a bunch of stuff too most likely) in these videos.
