If you’ve been to my site in the last week or two, you’ll want to refresh the page and you’ll see a video right on the top of the page.

My final blog post.

Huh.

Although I never jumped into this blog as active as I was on many, many other blogs I had owned, it’ll still be tough to click on that big old delete button when I destroy this website to get ready for the new Robert-Hawthorne.com website I’ll be launching sometime in April, 2009.

And yes, it is true. As of today, I am no longer associated with VM. Six years or so I was there. That’s the longest I’ve ever been associated with any company in my life. I really learned a lot, met great people, and thanks to VM, my wife and I have been able to live a life of freedom… and for that I’ll also be forever grateful.

However, I need to move on. I need to follow my passions and jump into something that in many ways, I’ve been preparing for… for a good 2 years now.

It’s time.

And there are no hard feelings anywhere. I appreciate, respect, love, RK for everything he’s taught me, has done, and is doing for the company. I’ve learned so much from RK… and there are not too many opportunities in life where you get to learn directly from one of the true masters of this incredible industry. Many things will be missed - RK is what I’ll miss the most.

I’ve never seen anyone work as hard as RK - and I’m sure I’ll never meet anyone who could even could come close.

I’ve never met someone so passionate about their work - although in this business we don’t “work”, we have fun really hard.

And I’ve never met someone who was so nice and accommodating as his wife LK.

Going forward in my new business - and in life, I will no doubt often think about RK and LK and the many lessons that they both taught me that I will continue to use and pass on myself for the rest of my life.

There are not too many people in the world who really touch you - I mean really make a lifetime impact on you. There’s just not many people like that out there, but RK and LK are those people. And for that, I am grateful for the six years that I was a part of the “family” even if at times I was the “black sheep” years ago because I was marketing on the Internet while everyone wanted me to do meetings, meetings, meetings. But no worries, I’ve forgotten all about that…. well, most of it anyway.
