Ok another year went bye-bye.  2007 was a year of changes… 

Took a huge risk and left a lucrative job at Portent Interactive to focus on my own publishing business. Being on my own forced me to be creative and learn a bunch of new stuff. Elance is a big help. Instead of doing everything by myself, I can outsource a lot of work to contractors. The catch is that I need to provide very clear & detailed instructions. Otherwise it could cause some headaches… But my aim is more managing and less doing…

Stock investment fits perfectly, I’m not talking about sitting in front of the monitor checking prices for most of the day.  Nope, that’s technical, and I’m all about value investing.  Or buy stocks on bargain.  I can read the financial statements, analyze future growth potentials, and more importantly wait to buy and sell only at attractive prices.  Heck at this rate, I’m on track to be the next Warrant Buffet.    Warning, rants ahead!  Efficient Market Theory sucks BIG TIME.  An old fellow in Omaha once said, “Be greedy when others are fearful, be fearful when others are greedy.” Well the recent crashes have made me very greedy.  It’s time to load up on shares so that I can afford some vices that make life interesting. 

Now putting on my lecture hat, yes kids, addictions can dangerous.  For example, drugs usually kill, stupefy, and bankrupt.   But other addictions can be fun and not so bad.  For me that’s Salsa!  I’ve been hooked for the past 8 months, taking about 1-4 lessons per week.  Now assuming that the song isn’t one with insanely elusive beat, I’m a fairly good dancer!  And hey who needs to go to gym when you’re dancing 3-5 nights a week!  Plus new friends and beautiful dates are the icing on the cake. 

Like I said earlier, 2007 was a year of changes…  2008, I’m going to kick some serious ass!   Stay tuned!

Ok, I’ve been really bad the last few months in keeping my personal blog.  No excuses, then though I have some really good ones such as learning Salsa & building my publishing business.  But I’m going to start again and just make it a daily habit like brushing teeth.  Been dancing a lot lately and slowly becoming better. 

Realized a funny thing while dancing.  Confidence and humility kind of compliaments each other.  So if I’m dancing with a hot gal, I’m in the zone and focus purely on the music and her.  And if she gives me signals or feedbacks, I’ll listen with a big smile on my face.  Might agree or not.  But I don’t really have that much of an ego to defend.  And that probably helps a lot not only in dancing, but life in general.
