Hi Dan and all other BP subscribers,
I am new to BP as well. I currently work in retail in New York City. What led to my discovery of BP was my search for another job that is more outgoing - one that allows me to obtain financial freedom while being totally in love with what I do. I am 51 and still remember what Steve Jobs said in his Stanford Commencement Speech (2005): Until you find something you love doing, do not settle (I am paraphrasing him). I never, in my wildest imagination, thought there was a way of making tons of money without doing something to rip people off, or doing something unethical to some degree. I believe REI presents this possibility - in a way that is legitimate.
As I said, I am new; and as such, and in the future, I welcome your comments and suggestions. I end with this, between now and when I am finally able to do my first deal, allow me if you please, to rejoice in your success, either big or small. All the best the BP community. Yours, Edmilson Xavier
