    This is business-related, so please keep this here..

    I would like to thank everyone for their advice to me in the business field, and for the others who have given me much-needed advice on my character-building and social skills.

    Right now, things are going great for me. I am very grateful for the opportunities that lay before me. I am ver grateful and most humbly appreciative.

    Right now I am working for a major credit card processing company in Dallas, Texas as a merchant setup coordinator. I am saving up around 60% of my salary to move to the metroplex, or Tillman's "metromess", and to finance a realistic business that I want established this mid-December. I am also forming a small third party business partnership with an IT consultant, who will hopefully be a great addition to my local assets.

    The Turtle Creek office will remain in use, strictly as a mailing address, and not the center of promotion as in my earlier days of immaturity and foolishness. I never had a full time office in Turtle Creek, just a mailing address, and it was a meeting place to meet with people I interacted with professionally.

    I am not rich, nor pretending to be. I don't even have a car. I am starting on the road to success, and I am determined to overcome all obstacles and take risks.

    My advice to other young want-to-be entrepenuers:

    Work hard and smart, and not just hard.
    Think BIG, but don't take foolish risks.
    Avoid Proscrastination like the plague.
    You gotta love what you do to be successful. Or you want.

    Thanks F-Chat!

    Yeah kinda. I had a friend/client who just about got on my last nerves with his "pretentious" attitude, and I had enought of it. Everytime this guy and I talked, he was always mentioning how he just finished shopping at the Galleria Mall buying Gucci, Prada, Versace, or his BMW, or talking about his trip to some exotic vacation spot in lala land. So I killed off our friendship...blocked his emails, instant messages, and no phone calls...I had ENOUGH!! Now mind you, this guy is younger than me, and I'm 20.

    I just hate being around pretentious people, who lack a sense of originality. And I hate having to change myself to be accepted by folks of that sense.

    Sorry to everyone if I seemed like a pest in the past. Looks like I had other people make a negative impact on me.

    ****************

    Business Rule #2: Stay true to yourself. And your customers..they will appreciate it.

    unfortunately......

    cdallen2004 has been banned and I suspect Ritz ain't long for FC either. He should have chosen Walter Mitty as a new user name.

    If that was true, you could call yourself Motel VI and not care. Plus, it'd be quite funny to the rest of us.
    Old habits die hard. Sad.

    Wow. A lot of negativity here. I thought being honest and open would clear up things. I guess not.

    I still want a Ferrari though. That's one thing that won't change fo' shone 'nuff.

    Which time? And why should we be positive when you can't even admit your own preferences? Or were you lying here too?

    It's called GOOGLE. Google CDAllen, it is the 3rd post from bottom of page on page 3.
    Don't post BS, lie, beg forgiveness, then hammer people for checking you out AGAIN.
    Go away, you Anne Heche of F-Chat

    Ditto. Some soccer coaches left a bunch of it in my fridge, quite ordinary.

    Heineken holds that distinction at my place. However, Heineken Light is not terrible. I gave it a chance despite my dislike of heiney. (Well, okay, it was free.)
