What Happening With My Marriage?

Say Something (12) May 22nd, 2009 Derek

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve given an update on how things are going with my Wife and me.  I’ve had several people ask me what’s going on, so I figured I’d do a quick post about what’s happening with it all.  So far, we are still married, we have started marriage counseling finally, however, after the first session, we got into a fight (my fault) a day or two later, and I messed it up.  Thus, right now we are meeting with the counselor separately.

For some reason, I thought that once we started the counseling that we had to get all of our problems fixed asap….I was dead wrong, by trying to push Joy to talk about all of our problems outside of counseling, I actually pushed her away and now she is back to wanting a divorce.

As I said, we are both meeting with the counselor still seperately for personal reasons that we each have that we need to work through…

I’m totally uncertain as to what’s gonna happen and to be honest it’s killing me!  All I know is that I have finally realized (hopefully not too late) that I love my wife more than anything else in this world and I would gladly do anything at this point to prove it to her and to get one more chance at saving our marriage.

So, if your religious, pray for me, if your not…pray for me anyways!  I’d appreciate it greatly and I’m trusting God to make a way where there seems to be no way!!!

PS: Thanks to everyone who has shown concern and have kept me in their thoughts and supported me through this.  I appreciate all of you as my readers and I hope to soon be able to post as regular as I was in the past once I get through all this!

My Wife And I Are Seperating

Say Something (23) February 14th, 2009 Derek

Hey guys, well as I said in the last post I made.  I haven’t been able to keep up on posting much new blog posts.  I explained the main reasons for this in the last post and one of those was simply stated as personal reasons.  Well, I said that I would let you guys know what was going on…so I am.

My wife left me early last week, we’ve been having marital problems for quite some time now.  I really don’t want to get into a ton of the details, but, honestly I think it may be for the best.  I just don’t see us going in the same direction in life anymore.  I have a ton of stuff I’d like to accomplish, and she just seems to want to coast through life as easily as possible.

Anyways, I’m still hoping however that we can get some more counseling (been 3 times now), and actually see some changes, that is of course if she is even willing.  She’s pretty set on getting the dissolution which as I said I think I agree with her on it, but, hopefully we can still try to work on it afterwards if she’s willing.

I don’t believe in Divorce as a Christian, but I also don’t believe staying in a relationship that causes you to sin all the time anyways by screaming, hateful remarks, swearing at each other, etc.

Also, I’m not going to be able to post very consistently while all of this is going on, so I’ll be taking on some guest posts.  If you would like to write a guest post for this blog (free backlink to your site of course) please shoot it over to derek [at] clickconsultants [dot] com.  I won’t post crap on this blog, so unless you’re willing to actually take the time and write something worthwhile for my readers don’t bother sending it.

The guest posts do not have to be about affiliate marketing, I’m willing to take anything related to making money online, internet marketing, social media, etc.  So help me out and shoot over an article or two and enjoy a free backlink or two! ;)

Thanks everyone for the support you’ve shown!

What’s going on?

Say Something (9) February 7th, 2009 Derek

question-marksHey guys, first of all, let me again apologize for the lack of posting and updating going on here at Click Consultants.  It started happening around the first of the year and I made a comment here about it before and how things were going to start picking back up.  Unfortunately, this has yet to happen.  I’ve been posting but it’s been more sporadic and the posts haven’t been as informant as I normally like them to be!

So I’m sure you’re all wondering what’s going on?  You all want your information and you want it now!!!  You’re here to make money and this blog is suppose to help you with that!  So again, what’s up?

Well, the first and major thing, I’m just unable to currently talk about.  There have been some major personal problems going on for a while in my life and it seems like things have finally happened with the situation leaving some carnage behind.  So, I’m working on getting things in my life put back together.  Hopefully I can get back on a more stable routine here shortly again.  Of course, I’m sure I’ll post about the situation once I feel it’s appropriate.

Secondly, and this is something that I can share and express freely, is that I’ve been finding some other revenue streams that have been producing more income that affiliate marketing stuff, although in all fairness it still kinda has to do with AM and AM still has a part in it.  Anyways, I’ve been debating this for a while and I believe I’m going to go ahead and just do it…

Do what?  Well, CC is going to start changing and I believe this change in the long term is going to be for the best.  CC started out as a professional blog.  Most that have been reading it has noticed that in the beginning there weren’t many personal posts…if any really!  Recently however personal posts have been picking up more.  I’ve been talking about favorite iPhone apps, death of a pet, etc.  Anyways, I believe that I’m going to continue to post personal posts and also I believe I’m going to start posting about more stuff than just affiliate marketing!  *Gasp*  Yeah, I hear ya!  I did a poll here a couple months ago in the sidebar and a lot of you said to just stick with posting about AM, but here’s the problem… I’m discovering that there are tons of other ways to make a ton of money online!  Yes, AM is great and it’s still my biggest money maker at this time, however, I can see several things taking over that.  I want to share these things with you guys!  So….I will be…

This blog will be changing, don’t worry most of the info here will still be AM related I’m sure, but slowly you’ll see other subjects coming up as well!  Not a bunch of fluff and stupid stuff, but things that actually make money!

Also, I’ve been neglecting the paid forums just like I have this blog and for those that are a part of the forums I’d just like to add that be patient with me just a little while longer and you’ll see that it will be worth it!

Keep me in your prayers about the direction my life is heading and that the Lord will guide my steps.  Thank You!!!  My readers and subscribers are the best!  Woot!

A Much Needed Break

Say Something (6) December 2nd, 2008 Derek

Hey Guys, sorry I haven’t posted in a little over a week.  With Thanksgiving happening just this last week, My family and I got extremely busy!  We spent some much needed time with family and decided to just relax.  So the only work I did this last week was on my affiliate campaigns (as little as possible) and keeping up on email (so that I didn’t come back to something fierce!).  Besides those two things, I was gone from the internet.

So Thanksgiving was only ONE day you’re saying…so where was I for the rest of the time?  Well, I’ve always been in sales and marketing in my life, even before I started internet marketing, yet I’ve never ever experienced a black friday.  So I went with a bunch of teens from our church youth group including my 3 sisters.  We got up early as heck and hit up Kohl’s, Walmart, the mall, and more.  It was a blast!

Also, I decided to do some catching up on the new World of Warcraft exspansion.  Wrath of the Lich King recently came out and because I’ve been extremely busy this last month or two getting ready for this last quarter of affiliate marketing (biggest quarter of the year) I haven’t had much time to devote to it.

So, that about explains what I did for Thanksgiving week and I thought I’d explain to all my faithful readers why I haven’t been around.  I promise I’m back and writing up another great post as we speak to get posted up shortly.  I would of posted this earlier letting you all know that I would be around for the week, except, I didn’t even know myself…It was more of a spur of the moment type decision.

Last but not least, I’d like to say that I’m thankful for all of you that read this blog, those that are a part of the CC forum, that I have a job that allows me to spend time with family when needed, and so much more that I could write forever!

Anyways, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I’d love to hear in the comments what you did for Thanksgiving and what you’re thankful for!  Even if your not from the United States you can still post a comment letting us know what your thankful for as it’s good for everyone to reflect once in a while!

Happy (Belated) Thanksgiving!!!

Rest In Peace Emily

Say Something (10) November 11th, 2008 Derek

Hey guys, what’s up?  I was planning on doing a post today, a review on SpeedPPC, but I was unable to because of an unfortunate event that happened last night in our house and that we had to deal with today.  If you follow me on Twitter then you may of already noticed but I wanted to do a post for not only those that wanted more details but also in order to protect the memory of our beloved ferret Emily.

I sent out a distress calling for help last night at 7:24 PM EST.  The twitter distress simply asked if anyone knew anything about ferrets, the symptoms Emily was facing and to contact me if you knew what the problem is.  (Thanks for all those that replied!)  After a while we thought we had found the problem, we thought it was ear mites as we kept reading that if a ferret had ear mites that went untreated it could affect their inner ear and cause them to lose balance and seem to be disoriented.

Immediately I ran out to the Pet Store and grabbed some ear mites medicine, came home and applied it.  Then we waited.  The only 24 hour vet (that did ferrets) was ~1 hour from our home…We were almost positive it was ear mites so decided not to make the drive…

We were wrong…I went to bed about 6am EST and noticed that Emily was breathing a little hard when I checked on her one last time…I then decided it couldn’t be ear mites as breathing shouldn’t of been a symptom.  I went to bed and told my wife that she would need to get up at 8 and get her to the vets as soon as possible…

I received the phone call at 10:13AM EST that the vet had to put Emily down because she was suffering too much and it was too late to fix the problem.  Apparently Emily had eaten something that caused blockage in her intestines…we’ll never know what it was, but we will miss her terribly!

I’ve posted this video on here before (Emily is the white ferret), but I figured (and felt) like I should post it again in her memory.  We will miss you Emily, it’s amazing how much you can love such a small animal.
