I'm looking to a lot of research upfront and make sure I have a relatively solid plan of attack before I hire a Cross-Border specialist for $100 an hour.

Over the years, I have had two employees attacked in different situations.

Back then the mob ran most things and for a guy to go after them and live it is understood that Rudy was clean and trying to protect the citizens of NY and fear is not in his vocabulary.Let's not forget that the US needs to be respected to avoid foreign attacks.

There is a common thread that runs through the dot.com bubble, 9/11 terrorist attacks and the housing woes that we are experiencing now.

It is great that you're getting your personal stuff back into shape, like Josh said, I think having a plan of attack will be really helpful.

No personal attacks here, just want to keep things along the lines of what the BP community is all about; openly helping one another to achieve better and attain a higher level of success.

I would suggest that in the future, if you are going to attack a persons strategy, you should qualify your basis of knowledge in THAT SPECIFIC market? 

Some days I wake up and I'm in attack mode.

Research both 1st and 2nds and see where you want to attack.

This network is the same you have explained only I attack it from the front end rather than the back.
