Opening companies in the face of world recession.
Bit scary as I sign contracts, open bank accounts, and wire money all over the world.. It is working – and I believe a company wrestling through the tough times makes it that much stronger. Just scary with payrolls building up….as its adding other people’s livelihood in the picture. Just keep on pushing forward – was going to start brainstorming …
Aftermath of the Earthquake

China Warehouse – 98 products
Even with the rather discouraging week I had with the negative feelings – still pushing forward on the china ecommerce front….searching for warehouse space – looking for locality, scalability…and security……that one is a bit scary and questionable…….. 98products.com was a big project most of the day today, Saturday – every day a work day not really sure what the work …
Been Seriously Racially Profiled This Week!!!!
This week was such a hardcore week of racial profiling…..and the more I “pryed” into the topic…the worse it got! I’m looking at leasing a warehouse…and I put down a deposit…but I’m going to change the warehouse because the area is not locked down enough….I need 24/7 guard because when a white person has a storage area its a target …

I think I’m happy!
Can’t sleep….the usual lately…my brain is working overtime….I’m physically exhausted, but just can’t stop thinking about international business….I love every minute of it. Sure, I get completely stressed out at certain moments, situations where I seem to be at the mercy of the luck – but it pans out. Spread my bets out, don’t get in too deep with one …
Hong Kong – Keep Pushing forward
spent the past few days in Hong Kong – trade show, networking, business banking – can’t stop pushing forward… stopped by the Hong Kong Harbor last night – snapped a quick photo of a “thinker”. Who is this guy, what is going through his life right now, what is he….Pondering? Putting yourself in others shoes sometimes….where is he, 24 hours …
