Dien, that's sounds really interesting. Keep us up to date on what you find!

Also, a quick question. I've been reading so much lately I'm not sure where I heard this brought up recently. Was it on this forum or in an email from you?

Wait! Got it! It was in Mischief Marketing by Ray Simon. God that was a good book! 5 star recommendation from Erik for anyone who hasn't read it. And if you have, read it again!

Ah, I jump around too much.

Most of my concentration is on learning about the stock market right now, as well as joint ventures ala Mike Enlow and my friend Anthony Link. I'm putting in a little effort giving some Don Alm ideas like the menu desk a go. And I've got an offline newsletter idea I'm tinkering with.

I'm at a stage where most people might panick as their income levels are drying up, but I just see it as a time to scale back, think a little, a decide what I want to try next.

I'm thinking about leverage in all sorts of new ways and seeing all sorts of new possibilities too.

Most of all, Dien, like you, I'm having a good time. And that's the most important thing to me.

Success,

Erik Lukas
