The guru's like to make it seem like some magical journey that will guarantee your success once you find all those people, I'm sure there is a $4997 boot camp on the topic somewhere.The bottom line is you need to meet with these people and see if your comfortable with them and that their expertise matches what your looking to do.

But, I've also been to San Antonio in July, hydration is key, that's why the Magic Time Machine is so much fun. :)

Looking for that magic $100/month/door X 100?

There is a magic number that always sells.

She can't expect you to just magically hand over all she needs in life and make everything peachy.
