Michael I've followed you for quite some time and congratulations--seems you've got the Fountain Head experiences of Howard Roark goin on...I've bought some of your great tools so I'm glad you posted what's going on in your life. I ditto some of the others in terms of what was revealed in your lessons. So here are some of my observations from your prior post, and then I have a question for you.

Observations:
) Leveraging work
2)real estate investing
3) using other people's money
4) search for opportunities
5) taking action-applying for work
6) committment to action
7) weighing pros and cons
8) Open to learning new skills
9) contracting your work

Now to get back to my question : After getting away from business: the paper projects you were engaged in and internet marketing, developing tools etc., what is your feeling about "business" in general? Do you think after engaging in the type of business and work you are doing now(because it's hand ons) it has changed you in some way and in your perception about business people and or strategies they use. I'm wondering if it has hightened your perception of "fluff" in business and interested in any other observations you have about doing business . Also, is the work you're doing now and they way you are doing as fulfilling or more fulfilling than what you were doing before? So as not to bore you: once, what happened to me is that I had been doing pencil paper type work and then when I actually did some management of a retail store and really got into doing the hard labor in the store: cleaning, reorganizing etc. I had the truest since of fulfillment ever in the business world. In other words the "hands on" gave me a real sense of accomplishment and it prepared me to work harder in my other endeavors.
Anyway I'd love to hear how this experience has changed in any way your perception about doing business.
Thank you,
Sandy
