    What's the greatest sacrifice?

    What's the greatest sacrifice you have made to be in this business?

    I think for me it was travelling almost 20 000 Kilometres from Australia to Florida last year when we had our booth at Internext. The hard part was not the 21 hours we spent on the plane, it was leaving our 6 month old daughter in Australia with her Grandmother. It was the first time we had ever spent any time apart since the day she was born.

    We were in Florida for a week and LA doing some business after Internext for a few weeks. In total we spent a month away from our little Princess.

    What made it worse is that we could not contact my Mother who was looking after our daughter for 2 days. Despite the fact that she was staying at our house that had a phone and that I had left a mobile phone with her. Kitty and I called non stop basically for 2 days and the mobile phone was turned off and the home phone unanswered. Our imagination was starting to get the better of us.

    I remember being near the pool at the Westin Diplomat in Florida last year for Internext and I had just tried to call again on my mobile with no success. The emotion was too much for me to bare and thinking the worst I started to cry and so did Kitty. The pain I felt when I thought that something had happened to our daughter is indescribable. Tam came up and gave us both a hug and said what we needed to hear and I will never forget her for that!

        I would never make a significant sacrifice for the PORN business.

        Ever see me at a convention? No. Its not worth my time. I make plenty of money without going to shows, and have done so for over 7 years.

            Congrats!

            It was also my first trip to the U.S. and I got to meet some great people and we stayed at baddog's, had a kick ass time and the pleasure of him showing us some of LA!

                It is one of the hardest things I have ever endured!!

                We had a contract to honour and there was a lot of hysteria about terrorists and airlines at the time and we decided we would not bring her with a Nanny. She got to spend time with her Grandmother and that is something my Mum missed with her first 2 Grandchildren who live inter state.

                Coming home was the sweetest feeling and to see her again was life affirming!

                      sleeping and passing out from exhaustion are not the same thing
