@James Johner James, what an amazing and inspiring story and journey of yours!

I'm going to be following and quizzing you on the energy efficiency improvements you are/should be making along the way ;-)Jay - good on you old man ;-)   You inspired me to do something similar locally ... which I may blog about later.

I don't know, there's something inspiring about it.

If you're interested to see how other people did it and what other situations could apply to you that you never even considered, start listening and you'll be inspired.

That kind of money will allow you to build orphanages in 3rd world countries, feed thousands of families at thanksgiving, or whatever else inspires you!

It sounds like your Grandfather is a very inspiring person!

:-)Keep sharing these stories, they are truly inspiring,Marla

I learnt flipping from my dad who does this for a living in India and he continues to be my inspiration.

seeing how others have been successful and learning has really inspired me. as I progress in my venture I will share my steps with the BP community with hopes of getting even more advice and motivation 

If you guys don't mind, I'd like to share my own thoughts on this topic ;) This last spike of this discussion was inspired by a post from Paul F who attended a 3-day workshop and was very dissatisfied.
