Hi Michael,

Thanks for sharing:

A couple of thoughts.

1. You did not see yourself doing what you are currently doing 18 months prior. Reminds me of a quote "You create your universe as you go along"

2. I like your idea of leverage to get the funds that you need. 3 paychecks, just over a month or two and you could have your large cash sum. Those that may have been opposed to Debt would have tried to save the cash. Which would have taken forever if they used their job as the vehicle to get the cash.

3. You are in the POWER position in your world. Where you can Choose to Create whatever lifestyle you want to. Power in life is having more than ONE option

4. You Increase your skills, to Increase your value to an employer to get the job that you wanted, at the income YOU wanted, to get the Loan that YOU wanted. Shows Clarity of your End Result, and you invented the means to get there ...ON YOUR TERMS

5. Your EGO did not get in the way of you getting a J.O.B. Seems to be an ANTI JOB sentiment amongst business owners and entrepreneurs. Specifically when they use terms like "wage slaves" etc. etc.

6. You used your marketing skills to analyze the Market ie. the Job Market to get the Job you needed. You took ACTION as well.

7. Jobs and Business are just means to get to some end, but most see the vehicle as the end in itself.

Lots of insights can be garnered from your post, especially those that have been here for a while and have read your other posts.

Thank You for sharing.

Infact I was actually SURPRISED that you were getting a loan. Surprised becasue there was a discussion a while back about a "FOREIGNERS SECRET TO WEALTH" and the discussion of debt.

That thread alone was easliy worth $20,000 to me back in 2004 I believe... But THAT is a story for another time :->

Thanks Michael
