Well, I very much need to update my blog, but an interesting event occurred, which spurred my comment, now. I poked my head into the Younger Women for Older Men group, only to find the moderator has shut it down. I don't know who or what got to him, but, it is, indeed, unfortunate. I've come to recognize the unique talent required for a good moderator to keep, maintain, and stimulate a good group to form up, and function. PussyLicker had the largest group on alt. and was a rarity, in his ability to stimulate conversation and postings and maintain a sane sanctuary in this crazy ether space. The world is a sadder place for his departure and his taking the "keys" with him. He was and is a friend, but he was quite unfair to his good friends to shut down as he did. I wish him the best and look forward to a chat in future.

Referring back to my Dec. 25 post, I was exposed the first Sat. this month to a film, "The Secret", which declared the epiphany I'd had, to be real: want WHAT you want, then act as though you'd received that gift; just go and do. They showed some "extreme" visualization, but verified that, to get what you want, just go get it. "Ask and you shall receive". Even the Chairman of Helloworld, Richard Kall, who made millions in multi-level marketing, said the same thing in a recent video email to me; just go and do. So, I'm going, and doing. This morning, met with the Mayor of Las Vegas, Oscar Goodman, who "remembered" me, and referred me to an assistant, with regard to a sister city program with St. Petersburg, Russia. I'll provide his contact person with information about Helloworld and VMDirect, and about FFi. That may lead to an awareness on the part of the Mayor, as well as leading me to meet with the "Governor" of St. Petersburg, a woman. Next month, or April, I'll try to get an audience with her, and extend the Mayor's greetings. Anyway, whatever is required, I'll just go and do.
Also, for my distributorships - I'm looking for 12 people who want to be millionaires in the next 12 months; it's that simple. When I get those 12, I'll help them get their 12 people they need, each. I'll make my goal, and help them achieve theirs. Pretty simple; invest a small amount of money in your own turnkey business; work with business partners; help others; achieve your dreams. As you read this, are YOU one of the 12 people wanting to make a million in the next 12 months? You know how to contact me. If not, thank you for coming by, anyway, and I hope my insight will help you to achieve your dreams, whatever they may be.
By the way, I guess I didn't remember to discuss my plans. I've got folks working to free me from my duties with the family business in Las Vegas, albeit at a drop in income, in the short term. In early Spring, I'll be going to St. Petersburg, Russia to be with my 27 y.o. fiancee, and to build my businesses there. When my girl's visa is approved, we'll return to Vegas to marry and start a family, and, hopefully, travel extensively, perhaps on our own yacht. I'll keep ya posted. FL

Redemption! My girl sent me an email. She was thinking about us; trying to forget me, but couldn't. My words and my songs and my prayers turned the corner. I am hers, again. It's funny. At Alt., there's no way I could be a sub.
But for her, I'm "what may I do for you, mistress?" Maybe I should change my profile - Slave to love?
Of course, I can't tell her that. But, they say you don't miss what you have until it's gone.
Spades on this one. Bless the Lord, my baby's back!

Saturday, Dec. 30, 2006. 1:25 am, PST, Las Vegas.
I was supposed to call my girl in Russia on her day off, Tuesday, Dec. 26, at 11:00 a.m., her time. She said she'd be waiting. At midnight, Christmas night, I called, but the phone rang, no answer. At 7 a.m. the 26th, I called again to reach her at 6 p.m. her time, her mother answered and said my girl was with a friend.
I sent emails; nothing for me. Today, I got my answer. But first, some background.
I promised to send an engagement ring to her, but found, after I bought and resized the ring, that I could not mail it. I explained this to my girl. I'd tried to send flowers before, and candy, but they weren't delivered, even after spending $100 for it. 2 weeks ago, approx., I contacted someone I could trust there to get flowers to Anastasia and sent over $100 for those. The flowers did arrive. Anastasia said she sent a package for me, but it hasn't arrived.
So, clearly, it is hard to send things back and forth.
I'd also told my girl I'd get her a computer to ease our communication. This, I did, and am now configuring it to work as well as possible when it gets to Russia. Then, I thought, I MUST go to Russia. I cannot be without seeing her, and it is difficult to get gifts to each other, if I'm there, it will be simplified.
So, I have the gifts, but was looking to bring them with me in March. Mistake. She spent Christmas, now New Year's with no gift or card, and feels my promises are hollow. She basically sent me a dear-John leter; have a good life while I forget you. I cannot bear this.
I sent 3 emails to try to explain the difficulty I've been having getting anything to her and telling her I love her madly and I made a mistake; in future, I'll send a gift every week, so she'll get something, even if most don't arrive. She also felt the flowers were insincere, because they weren't her favorites, thinking I had a choice in the type of flower I could get to her, which I couldn't dictate that.
Tomorrow, I'll get some cards and start trying to mail those to her and hope they reach her and do some good. I'm in great pain. Distraught beyond words. I only hope she reads my letters and my words reach her. She won't answer the phone. MOOD: Anguish

Well, it's been a while since I posted last. My romance in Russia is still going strong - an hour a day, or more, by phone. I've reached the decision I've had enough of the daily management of the apt. bldg. So, I'm going to have to stretch my wings and fly to Russia before the Spring thaw. I'll spend a few months there, until she can come to the U.S. with me. I plan to develop my Helloworld and FFi business there, while I'm in Russia. I talked to the folks tonite about getting a management co., or maybe my brother in Seattle to take over for me here in Las Vegas.
That will leave me free to build my FFi and Helloworld businesses, plus whatever else my hyperactive mind comes up with. I'm totally serious about getting some good income coming in, to provide for the family I'm looking to have. I'd always imagined I'd be wealthy, though I'd not cared about it the last few years. Now, I've got reason to care, again, so, it's time to make it happen. I believe that maybe we make life complicated. It may be so simple that all we have to do, is imagine what we want and then go forward.
The truly wealthy people seem to do that. Maybe we all can, unless a major hindrance develops. Many of the things I've done before were that simple - define the dream, start working toward it, the pieces fall into place, bam!, dream realized. There may be a few failures, but keep going.
I'm miserable about the lack of progress on FFi and Helloworld, but I believe it will come together; I just have to be patient, keep working, keep the faith, and let it happen. Richard Kall, the multi-millionaire Chairman of Helloworld had 2 formulas for success: 1. signup; 2. Don't quit. So, you have to work, but once you START, don't quit.
The advantage of those programs is that they're like oil wells, making money day and night, without extra work on your part. But, they take some time to get going - FFi less than most; a top leader makes $50,000/week, or $2.5 mill a yr., after 9 months in the business.
Meanwhile, I'm also going to see about a couple of other ventures, including nothing-down real estate. I've done it and seen it done. May be time to get serious about it. Free seminar on Wed. So, those are some things I've been up to.
Hope your Xmas was jolly and Santa was good to you - he just gave me more work to do; oh, well, good Xmas next year, I hope. Happy New Year!
Keep me posted, too. Ciao.
P.S. Younger Women for Older Men is getting together in chat on AdultFriendFinder; the LoveBoat; so, that's where you'll find me, or here, at YWFOM.

You can't do it

After reading over my last post, just thought to remark how many times MY folks have told me, "you can't do it". "Don't leave school, you'll never finish". Bachelor of Science in Bus. Admin., 1974. "Don't waste your time to get a military commission; you won't make it." Left the Coast Guard as a Lt. Commander. "Don't go to Russia, it's a fool's dream." Now, have a 26 year-old Russian girl to die for, who loves me to death, too. So, Robert's folks telling him not to waste his time on FFI is familiar. My folks said the same thing about Helloworld and I'm sure they'll have the same response to FFI, though I'm not going to mention the income potential to them; I'll just see if they'd like to get an extra 25% on their gas mileage and a cleaner-burning engine for $1.25/tank. Right now, gas in Vegas is $2.50/gal. and my car takes 15 gallons or more, so a fillup is about $38. If this product, developed for the military in 1970, performs as everyone says it does, I should be able to save about $10/fillup, or $40 a month. The distributorship sign-up is a modest $500, vs. $2000 for the Helloworld premier package, and I'm already spending money for gas now. If I didn't sell a thing, I'd break even in a year on gas savings, alone. If I have even 10% of the results Robert achieved, I'd still be making an extra $4,000 a week. Yeah, I could hang with these guys.

FastLane's birthday

Okay, so I don't have enough to do, already. I get a phone call from this friend of mine, Dan, who clued me in on Helloworld. He says there's another program I should look at. "Dan, I'm pressed for time. Another time, Okay?" But, he insists, just 45 min., blah, blah. "All right, but just an hour, okay? I've got to get something to eat, anyway. I'll look at it, you spot the dinner bill and get me back to the office." Then, he calls me and says this other guy bailed on him, and can I meet him there. Okay, Dan, you're pushin' it. So I grab a drumstick at Church's to be on the safe side and meet him in China Town. Reminding anyone of an old movie, yet? I go in to the meeting, and we're about 50 per cent caucasian and 50% Chinese. Okay, that's unusual for Las Vegas. Robert comes to the front of the room; he's a jovial-looking, medium stature, Chinese guy with a great attitude. Goes on to tell us he was born in VietNam, tho he's Chinese, and came to U.S. with his folks. They had small businesses, no success, a grocery store, then Food4Less came in, no business. His folks tell him, don't get into Fuel Freedom Int'l. He doesn't listen. In 30 days, (takes most folks 2-3 months), he's pulling down $40,000 A WEEK! Now, 11 months later, he's in the six figures, weekly. Helloworld is great, and I've gotta keep my hand in, but this, I can take to Russia, now, and is an easier sell, and will bring in about 4 times the income. And HE's moving to Las Vegas and will be personally mentoring! This has GOT TO BE MY YEAR! After the meeting, he confided he'd also had a good run at the blackjack tables and grabbed an extra $3,000 on some good cards, which I calculate to mean he was probably playing $200 to $300 a hand. So, 7 of us sat down to a Chinese feast he paid for, so my birthday dinner turned out great! I was feeling so good, I went to the Palms to check out the new Playboy Club there. The doorman told me to join, you needed to pay $7500/year. I guess, if I make the money I'm looking to make this year, that would be DOABLE, though, I think I'll nose around for a better deal, if possible. Sure don't see it happening this year, before Christmas, unless I hit MegaBucks or something.
All in all, one of the best-remembered birthdays I CAN ever remember.

Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to me.
Having to slave away today; it's 2 a.m. and just finishing today's paperwork. Inspection of 30 apartments tomorrow for 4 hours and more work on my reports, as well. Liable to be working late, again, tomorrow night. Oh, well, won't be forever. I will be glad to get going again on Helloworld; frustrating I don't have the time to push forward on it; in just 6 months, people are making several thousand a month. I've got some good contacts, but we haven't gone global yet, which is where the bulk of mine are, at present.
This too shall pass, but the money is slipping away in the meantime. Wouldn't be so hard to bail and go fulltime with Helloworld if it weren't a family business that's holding me fast.
