That is terrible Scott but at least he had the guts to take leadership.  

In fact one of them talks highly of the leadership there.

I've read many other books like it, Robert Kiyosakis books, John Maxwell's, other money books/leadership/selling/business/ yea... thel ist goes on and on.

so a plan and decisive leadership is better than the nonsense that we have seen over the last few years.Our own investment strategy has even been put on hold because of the sub-prime issues in the US and right now we are starting to feel the pain....hopefully the crucible of democracy can deliver on the principles espoused by the President-elect!

When presenting your offer, remember that they are looking for your leadership and decisiveness.

My business partner wrote actually 7 ways to get into MF, see link below.You can listen to some of my podcast interviews on my BP profile website or go to my company website under Thought Leadership and review the links.  

Over the last 6-7 years, Austin has posted consistent job growth (3-4% TTM job growth is some of the best in the nation), outstanding population in-migration (I've read something like 150 people a day are moving to Austin), good civic leadership, a very aggressive economic development corporation here which is actively recruiting companies here (see the RECA site and Opportunity Austin 3.0 for more details via the Austin Chamber of Commerce), and some excellent structural advantages (i.e. flagship UT 50,000 + students, temperate climate, relatively low cost of living, music culture, etc.).  

Again, "the people" made this mess because "the people" keep choosing a person for office based on there hair, how good they talk, what they look like, they put a person into a very important administrative leadership role who has no qualifications for the job, no real capability to do good things, are we supposed to be surprised by bad outcomes?     

I am also an Air Force Veteran so with Military experience I know how to work on a team, take precise instructions from someone in a leadership role (this scenario, an asset manager), and work hard.Where do I start?
