After the shock and disappointment of being let go wore off I started my publishing company and instantly became famous. Bullshit. Not even close. First I need to make money. Just as there is no crying in baseball, there is no money in books, at least not quickly.
I had a great offer to open up my own real estate office in conjunction with a builder around the lake that I had worked on for the previous 7 years. I was able to get set up and running within a few months and within 6 months started earning some money. Money is important because it allows you work toward your goal. File that one under "solid gold nugget of advice by this jackass".
I was working for myself, making a living, supporting my family, but didn't feel that I wanted to sell real estate the rest of my days. If I had to I would, but the dream of my book had taken hold. It was something that dominated my thoughts and I knew I had to start working toward making it happen.
