					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It had been a great evening.</p>
<p>A few of us internet marketer types had got together and the drinks were flowing.</p>
<p>We were sat around a table at a restaurant in Newcastle&#8217;s China Town when it happened.</p>
<p>Something that would change my life forever.</p>
<p>I was talking to a great guy called Tony Shepherd.</p>
<p>We were swapping stories about our kids and what it&#8217;s like working from home.</p>
<p>Tony&#8217;s kids were already at school whereas mine were still toddling around at home.</p>
<p>I was talking to him about the new house I was about to move into and how I was thinking of putting a log cabin in the garden as an office.</p>
<p>Then Tony told me a story that will stick with me until my dying days;</p>
<p>&#8220;You know what Michael? I have my office inside the home. And my kids come in all the time and interrupt me.</p>
<p>I remember one Autumn a few years&#8217; back when they would come running in almost every hour excitedly shouting;</p>
<p>&#8216;Daddy! Daddy! Come and see the red squirrel in the garden!&#8217;</p>
<p>And every time I&#8217;d go outside and watch the red squirrel with them.</p>
<p>Because this time you have is precious.</p>
<p>It won&#8217;t last forever.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t want to miss out on these moments before they&#8217;re gone.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let them pass you by.</p>
<p>Did I get less work done?</p>
<p>Sure I did! But I don&#8217;t care because when you look back you&#8217;re not going to wish you did more work.</p>
<p>So Michael, don&#8217;t put your office in the garden. Work inside your home so you don&#8217;t miss anything.</p>
<p>And leave your door open.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tony&#8217;s story struck me right in the heart.</p>
<p>Wow.</p>
<p>Even writing this I&#8217;m feeling a lump in the back of my throat.</p>
<p>You see &#8211; being there for my family and being able to watch them grow up and not miss anything is the whole reason I got into internet marketing in the first place.</p>
<p>Because I knew it would make it possible for me to work from home and let my missus choose to be a full time mum too if she wanted.</p>
<p>And she does.</p>
<p>So now I&#8217;m in my new house, in my little office room inside the home &#8211; with the door open.</p>
<p>My little girl, Holly, regular comes in to do &#8220;Drawing and Daddy&#8217;s keyboard&#8221; and I welcome the distraction and precious moments.</p>
<p>Especially when I think of other poor Dads who maybe get a glimpse of their angels before rushing off to work in the morning.</p>
<p>And then maybe a kiss at night.</p>
<p>I spend several hours with my kids every day and it&#8217;s amazing.</p>
<p>I wouldn&#8217;t miss it for the world.</p>
<p>Am I making a bajillion dollars like some marketers out there?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;m making tens of thousands of dollars a month while working for, and close to, the people I love.</p>
<p>And because I know how important this is I want to show you how to do it too.</p>
<p>All you need is a couple of hours a week, a drive to succeed and $1 to get started;</p>
