> and the point of this post is? > Marshall The point is this: many, many people, on this list and in your town appparently, WANT to mentor you, WANT you to succeed, but you, my obtuse friend, are enslaved by your doubt, worry, suspicion. None of this is about your talents, your situation, your ability. It's ALL, and I mean all about your attitude. You need to take a big step back, and LISTEN. We know much better than you what you need to do to start in this business. PLEASE BE QUIET AND LISTEN TO US. I can say you will not be successful if you do not develop patience. At your level of involvement, you are NOT READY to advertise or do any serious public business building. You're being driven, in part, by your admittedly desperate money issues, but mostly by your out-of-control mental process. Chill out. Understand people here are not attacking you. You dismissed and disrespected a heartfelt letter from your colleague-to-be John Stroup; you routinely disregard great advice from people here who have decades of experience; you're acting like a fool. Please stop, apologize profusely, and ask for help sincerely, or quit wasting our time. David Andersen Malibu, California
