rob just thought of something ,with you knowlegde and wisdom and the enthusiasime your speaking voice ,ever thought of becomeing a motovational speaker???????
,,you have such a positve attitude tward everthing,except right now,but have faith my friend your gona have fun playing catch up,but i was serious about the motovational speaker thing ?????ever thought about it
-
Motivational speaker? Naah, I use my powers for good, not profit lol.
Truth is I just genuinely get excited about other's ideas and like to see them move forward. I think it shows. I know what people can do when they put thier minds to it and work towards something. I've done it several times, several businesses, going back to grad school in my 30's, stuff like that. There's always a way I think. The problem is staying enthused enough long term to keep solving the problems that come up as time goes, especially when you've come to realize there's never going to be as much money in it as you thought when you first got excited about it lol. -
As long as you enjoy what you do, you will always find a way to make things work.
The money will come, or least I am told it will... You just have to stay around long enough to find what works for you. -
very true rob ,now take your own advice!!!!!!!!
and do it right,you might have to dump the hopper thing to make money and drag something else! but you can do it! your smart enough and motovated enough yrs ago i used to tell people im good at fixing other peoples problems but have a hard time fixing mine ,lol the reason i had a hard time was because i didnt back up and think things thru,like i do now,i know backing up is a problem you have to over come
lol but it will work out step back look at your options,you will prevail!!!i know you will,i know it in my heart! if you can pass med school,with all those big words that i cant even begin to say not let alone spell
,and i know this first hand from studying with my wife trying to help her pass med school herself,you can do this,you need to learn to take it easy on your truck and get you big mogula gorrila but in the working maintance end of your truck,and you will be fine,
