Roy,
You're welcome. The entire reason I have a job is because of the Taxi's, Song U, NSAI, seminars, workshops, books, DVD's, and other web sites, don't have the nurturing aspect. They are too big to be able to do that. We have to find that elsewhere. Within each other. That is why I do things one on one or in very small groups. It gets them more direct help, and gives me a sense I am actually doing something that makes sense and works.
My Father gave me my role model. But something he told me once stuck with me throughout my life. I will pass it on to you.
"Find out what you love to do, then figure out how to make it pay you."
That always stuck with me. My Father was an entrepeneur. He invented businesses out of nothing. he was a Gospel singer with his own televsion show in the 50-60's. He worked for Lockeed aircraft and was on a design team for the mechanical arm that was on the Luna Rover. He put himself through archetecture school and built apartments. He founded the concept of the "convenient store" in the south, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. He took flying lessons so he could expand businesses, and led the "Resturant franchising business" movement in the 60's and 70's. And after all that, figured out he had a love for antique and collector cars. That is what he did until the day he died, bought, sold, traded, restored old rusted pieces of junk and returned them to beautiful running pieces of art. His biggest problem was staying focused and interested in anything and getting past himself. For every business he would have going, one would do great, the other eight, well, not so well. That and being married 8 times, did a lot on his bottom line. But he always did what he loved.
That is what I would hope for all of you.
Enjoy talking to all of you.

"We are all millionaires, billionaires even, because right now we have today. And today is worth more than all the wealth we can imagine. So spend today wisely. Spend tomorrow wisely. Enjoy the wealth of today, and realize it is worth far more than all the money and possessions of tomorrow and beyond." -Brian Austin Whitney
