About This Blog

I started this blog to honor the most soft hearted, caring, the biggest SOB that I have known, my Dad. Everything that I know, and have learned, is from him. He passed away on September 1st 2006, but this blog will likely keep his teachings around.

About Me

I didn’t start my first real job until I was 23 years old. I had a free ride while in College from my father. However, my first job was a sales associate at a mall jewelry store, which lasted exactly 7 days because someone offered me more money to go work for them. I was hired back with my old boss once again after 6 months (ofcourse with higher pay) and promoted to a managers position within 2 weeks.

I knew I was good at what I was doing. I was a natural sales person, and I was not planning on making that my lifetime career. Since I knew that my boss needed me more than I needed him, which is rarely the case, I got more out of that job than most people could imagine. The money was good, but I was getting bored and needed more of a challenge. So, I went into a partnership with the main boss of the company I was working for, and moved to San Antonio as a 50/50 partner. That partnership went sour, and I switched jobs, moved back to Dallas to work for a friend as a travel agent, who as a much bigger SOB than I can ever imagine to be, and that didn’t quite work out.

As fate would have it, I talked a sweet lady to sublease her jewelry kiosk in one of the malls in San Antonio to me, since she was quite timid and the other jewelry kiosks in that mall were making her life miserable. Ran that quite successfully, but had some legal issues with the kiosk, and had to give it up. Since I had nothing else to do, I met an acquaintance who was into selling pagers at an 8 ball league game. That was a life changing experience for me.

I asked him if he would teach me the business, and he agreed if I would give him a gold bracelet, and $500. I instantly agreed. I have not looked back since. I expanded from selling pagers in San Antonio, to selling cellular services in malls in San Antonio, Dallas, Tennessee, and Indiana. I had wholesale warehouses in San Antonio, Dallas and Atlanta. I was importing my own products, distributing them, wholesaling them and retailing them. Ofcourse, ran into a few bumps and road blocks on my way to success, but am still standing.

My recent sites that I have started:

Jobsidi.com - Job Search Engine For India.

And other smaller sites that got nowhere.
