For Dien Rice

And should I be insulted? Or complimented?

Everyone at one time or another is a wannabe. It just takes us all a while to get to where we want to be.

In 1982 I thought I wanted to be a computer programmer, it took me 9 months and several thousand dollars to learn the skills needed to QUALIFY for my first job. But that job didn't materailze until 1985.

In 1995 I knew I wanted to be an internet guru (still seeking this status) and offer product and services over the 'Net because I hate face to face selling.

It has taken until 2002 - and a partnership with a programmer - to finally come up a CONCEPT of what will offer us the most return for the least amount of work.

And, believe it or not, the answer is a concept that MLMers keep harping on...

Do something once and sell it over and over and over...

Applying that one principle is the driving force behind SoftNuggets.Com.

We are developing internet solutions to real world businesses. We aren't just trying to sell them on buying a website - that can't be done successfully - we ARE selling them solutions that integrate seemlessly into their real world businesses.

And that we can do over and over and over.

But, if I hadn't taken the first step in 1982 I sure as hell wouldn't be in this position today.

Oh, one more thing. Formal education isn't for everyone. Look at the Robber Barons of the 19th century. None of them went to high school. Howard Hughes never went to college. And Bill Gates never finished his degree.
