Every time I’m down I always get a word from someone who is totally unaware of my state at that time.  Then, there are people who I call to say hi that end up victims of my rants.  And they listen!  So, to everyone who has provided words of encouragement or listened to my rants, thanks for your encouraging words or listening.  It’s helping me to stay motivated to move forward.

Children under the age of 17 must be at home or accompanied by a parent or guardian 18 years or older after 10:00 p.m. on weekdays and no later than 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturdya nights.

Children who are curfew violators often become victims of crime.  Don’t let this happen to your child.

I had a troubling thought today.  If Bill Gates or Warren Buffet called me today to offer to mentor me, would I be ready?  Unfortunately, the answer was no.  What does that mean? I have very little time to get myself together.

What needs to be done?
1. Think like the billionaire I am.  Not everyone is qualified for the billionaires club.
2. Write like it’s my lifeline.  Actually, it is.  My new motto: Will write for food.
3. Stop planning and start working. I’m creating my to-do list now.

Mr. Buffet and Mr. Gates, I will be ready for your tutelage by the end of this month. I’m looking forward to our meeting.

Mark Victor Hansen & Robert G. Allen

I had the opportunity to meet Mark Victor Hansen & Robert G. Allen, the authors of Cash In A Flash, at a Chicago Social Media Club meeting in September 2009.

I didn’t have a lot of money on me, so I asked Mr. Hansen to gift me a book.  Do you know I received a double blessing? Not only did I get a book, Mr. Hansen told me that “we expect great things!”  What a way to be sent off with a good book!

Well, Mr. Hansen, I am working on those great things.
