Default IMHO, here's your next steps

Hi!

First, congratulations on discovering a calling.

Next, stick with it until you discover a calling that you like even better than deal-making.

Next, continue doing what you're already doing: studying deal-making and deal-makers. Listen for that inner signal that tells you that what you've just read is something you should be doing.

Next, discover the way to be a deal-maker that earns the most money per unit of time worked. It might be becoming a film producer. It might be creating an organization which would explore all the sales channels for a product you've created or gotten the rights to. It might be structuring a partnership to create a new product. It might be buying that type of boat called a Chinese Junk over in your neck of the woods and selling it to a rich yachtsman in my neck of the woods.

You're lucky to have a very profitable calling, please make the most of it!

(By the way, from what I can remember of things you've done in the past or expressed an interest in, deal-making was at the center of them--this is a way to test whether a calling is really a calling. For example, when you were discussing forming an investment pool which you would trade, that's deal-making, obviously.)

Hope this helped....

Best,

- Boyd
