Also researching how other people have succeeded (in other fields as needed esp if you're going somewhere new), sometimes radio or books or internet are excellent methods of communication and getting to the heart of the matter of what you want to say and getting it out there in the most effective means possible may be easier than you think. you can't be responsible for how many people listen and respond to your influence only for what you do and say, and sometimes it takes awhile for your words to sink in and people respond many days later and you may never hear about it. if they don't, move on. there are 6 billion people on this planet, 300 million in USA, finding where you fit and what you want to do is a study in itself :) but you start today and go from there. and if you're making any impact at all, don't give up, keep moving forward, and find how you can work with that to make it better.for example it is probably more effective for me to come here and talk about buying up real estate (and I also have a website about agriculture) than it is to try to change Obama lol. he only won by 54% I think and he has angered a great number of people who voted for him, he shouldn't count on much success and support or future popularity at that rate. in the meantime, let's boost the economy ourselves lol.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/General-Growth-files-for-rb-14945510.htmlNEW YORK (Reuters) - General Growth Properties Inc, the second-largest U.S. mall owner, declared bankruptcy on Thursday in the biggest real estate failure in U.S. history.Ending months of speculation, General Growth, along with 158 of its 200-plus U.S. malls, filed Chapter 11 while it tries to refinance its debts.But the ongoing global financial crisis made it impossible for General Growth to restructure outside of bankruptcy and could signal further troubles for other financial institutions who are General Growth creditors.The collapse underscores the pressure on U.S. commercial real estate with few sources of available funding.Chicago-based General Growth, which owns such valuable properties as South Street Seaport in New York, Fashion Show in Las Vegas and Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston, listed total assets of $29.56 billion and total debts of $27.29 billion.The collapse marks a sad chapter for a company that has been growing since 1954, when brothers Martin and Matthew Bucksbaum decided to expand their family's grocery business and build a shopping center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.The company expanded steadily through both building and buying malls, the largest acquisition being the 2004 purchase of high-end mall owner Rouse Cos for $14.2 billion.
