Let's Review & What's New

So what have I been doing instead of blogging???
Getting rich of course! Ok not really getting rich but working on it.

So the big website idea finally went bust. It was called Igarage It is exactly like REPAIR PAL which is a fully functional site. The cat that started repair pal killed it. He had millions of dollars in angel funding and made it happen. I had $5000 bucks, some programmers in Pakistan, and a bootleg laptop. My college roomate who lives in San Fransciso, has been consulting me on this via nightime conference calls. Last week he told me to hang this idea up - which I think he told me before - but this time I listened.


R.I.P IGarage

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST


What has worked and is still working?

E-bay aka E-bizzle
I got a T-shirt company that is powered by E-Bay NUFF SAID OUTFITTERS


This idea was the brainchild of myself and a married couple who is on thier hustle. It all started with a Phelps Olympic shirt and now we are killing the sales weekly. Every few days we think of new shirts - there are like 80 designs right now.

My new favorite is:

NOW THAT'S FUNNY! What....Very Passionate Independant Loving Female ....That's what it stand for.

If you want one, click on the shirt and order one!

I also have an EBay gift store Money Saving Mikes, named after this website.

It's like a gift shop of sorts, I'm like a distribution warehouse, buying selling and tracking. Weekly profit has been rising at a steady clip. How much you say.....I can almost pay my rent on profit.

The best thing about it; is this paypal mastercard. That thing is sweet. You can buy stuff, pay postage, make online purchases all from your paypal account. I havn't spent a dime running this store in two months and my paypal account is like Oprah Winfrey - OBESE!

QUESTIONS THAT EVERYONE WILL ASK???

  • Am I still burning the candle at both ends......
  • NO...I started lighting the candle in the MUTHA-PHUCKIN middle.
  • Am I still sacrificing my personal life for future riches......
  • What personal life? What girlfriend (Sorry Ma, I know you liked her -I did too)?
  • Will I still be rich by 35
  • That's the goal isn't it?

Loving & Living Life to it's fullest
Holla Back!!

I'm back Baby!! .....With a Vengence

I swear this is the last time I take off of the blog.
Really. I promise.




Thanks for all the emails and concerns; I'm still alive and I'm still on the paper chase.

I had to get a few things in order to make sure that I'm up for the long haul....and I am.

OH BOY am I.




I just needed to take a month off.



So there are a lot of questions that's been asked. Too many to post but I will string them all together for the next weeks of posting.

The website business endeavor has gone bust, now I can provide some interesting details and explain what went wrong and how it exploded as well as how much money was lost.

I'm doing some great (you know great = $$$$ in my world) on Ebay, and I have changed the structure of the Power Wash business and Car Detail Business to make them profitable (I hope).

I have been busier then ever!!

So look for about two posts a week - at minimum. These are exciting times, and there are plenty of riches too go around.




More travel adventures

More stories of no sleep and caffene pill poppin'

More stories of fortunes (ok money) earned and lost.

It doesn't get any better then this Baby.

Not to mention.....More Gallardo's!!!

GO AHEAD....CLICK THE PICTURE AND DROOL.....

.....When a Plan Comes Together

That is what Hannibal from the A-Team used to say all the time. He loves it when a plan comes together. You have to admit, that it is nice when you are busting-ass and you start to see that you are winning more then you are losing. That takes time, vision and commitment. If it was easy we would all be rich.

Now, don't get me wrong - I'm far from rich but I have layed all the ground work including final financing of all of my current projects.


From this point on it should be smooth sailing. Smooth is relative. With an average of 20 waking hours per day, I have 140 hrs. / per week which to keep my endeavors running smooth. I would estimate I am literally working or traveling to work 120 of those hours.

How long can I keep this up? As long as I need to. I have a vision of how my life will be and will not stop until that vision is fully realized. In my world, In my mind there is winning and losing. Anything short of my goal and I have lost; and Guess What...Losing is not an option.
