Goals have not changes but efforts have, which means but I will certainly be much closer than if I had never started on this journey.

Actually her really good response was to an email that I posed back in last August and I have worked through those specific issues, I have had good response from two individuals who share my "concept" and are indeed excited about trying it. A sketch…

Hey Lee, I just joined and read about the speedbump you ran into for your greeting card business. I would avoid trying to sell people to be on the ground floor of your business, many people will not be as excited as you are especially about a gree…

The financial crisis has hit everyone and it's difficult to tell when it actually all started for us but as for me and my family we made a decision to refinance our home a couple of years ago. Since I am retired with little of no income it wasn't a…

Actually I do have a plan for the other "balls still in my court". I picked up a pencil and tried my hand at doing some sketches myself. Also as a second type of artwork I'm considering going with photos. Since I last I have two other sketche artist…

First set of greeting cards ready just in time for Christmas.

As many of you know I have been trying to start up a greeting card company. The first test drive
will be happening just in time for Christmas. What kind of cards you might ask? Well Dah....Christmas
cards you silly thing.

The line will be simple hand drawn sketches from my limited artistic skills. I'll test the market here
in the mid west with those friends and family who will be willing to humor me as I seek to discover
if this'll fly or not.

I'll start with a set of eight different 5"X7" Chr… Continue

Learning As I Go

Here is a quick update:

Just when I think I got things figured out, life throws me a twist. You see I'm trying to establish a small business in the form of a greet card company. I attempted to contact several potential sketch artists who might be interested in being on the ground floor of this exciting business. Out of five different people I contacted only one showed any interest. (I am still looking for interested sketch artists)

I was excited and made some basic plans but progress is pretty… Continue

I think I 'm Figuring Out Something


Recently you may have noticed a short pause in the written activity of our "Share Your Number" blogs, there are some obvious reasons and some undetermined reasons for this. I'm not sure anyone has all the answers but let me tell you my take on what going on. All seven of us involved in… Continue

Moving Towards My Goal

Progress is progress even if it is slow.

On my plans to create a line of specialized greeting cards that will hopefully turn into my own card company I have discussed the start up issues with a retired corrections officer in Oregon who has just sold a similar company of his own. I received a lot of good pointers about what to do and not to do. Sometimes we need to look at others failures and successes in order to map out our own future.

I have also found a skecth artist who is willing to assis… Continue

Asking For Help

One of the tools I am going to use to get to my number is the start up of a business. (I'll also create an exit strategy). Actually I'm interested in a greeting card business and I want to operate it on two levels (1). A face to face operation with clients who want my product and (2). An on-line sales of the same product. I have been in touch with a man in Portland who just recently left this same business and he was very encouraging.

My problem is knowing just where and how to begin. Mainly I'… Continue

Crawling Higher

I have always been afraid of heights. If there is social network for ladders look for me at the bottom. This whole idea of striving to become a mnillionaire, while still quite an adventure it is getting more frightening every step of the way.

Not Part of My Plan

So here I set trying to figure out how do I get from where I am with $183,000 in assets, $105,000 in liabilities and a net worth, of $78,000 to "My number" of $3,000,000 by the year 2019? It's pretty obvious that I'll have to start some kind of business along with the common sense savings, investing, and whatever else I can do to reach my goal. I have been following springwise at to see what the trends of new businesses are.… Continue

"Creative Vision Beyond Imagination"

I recently read Napoleon Hill's "Key's to Success - the 17 principles of Personal Achievement" among the interesting chapter was one about Creative Vision. Now while I believe very strongly in trusting God for our future I also agree with the idea of seeing yourself as doing or being all that you can do or be. The idea of Creative Vision struck a sweet cord with me. Creative Vision is about commitment to a better future. Dedication to making things happen, seeing things happen before they actual… Continue

What am I Worth?

Standing on this portion of the mountain that I'm climbing I can at least see the direction I need to be going and eventhough I can't see my final destination I know where it is, $3,000,000 by 2019. The path ahead of me offer many opportunities and lot of them have to do with Life Coaching, Consulting, training and writing. While I feel comfortable with all that I still have a problem with it. You see my nature and past experience has been to prettymuch offer my services for "free". Of course th… Continue

10 People Who Influence My Number

In "Sharing My Number" I have come to realize how important different people are to the process, let me tell you about 10 of them:

THOSE WHO I WILL FOLLOW because they have been there and done what I wish to accomplish.

THOSE WHO I WILL AVOID because they are the Negative Ned's and Nellie's always looking at the down side of anyone's efforts to improve themselves.

THOSE WHO I WANT TO NETWORK WITH because they have something I don't and I can learn from them if I'm willing… Continue

Hello. You might be interested in a recent book that I've blogged about here that explains the current problem, and its solution, in terms of religious thinking about the underlying purpose of business.
