@Lee – You have our support! We have examples of people around us overcoming huge obstacles. Now, I need to go find some inspiration for myself as well.

@Josh – Thanks for the reference. Looked it up on my iPod Touch. Hmm, anyone bought AAPL when we were talking about it a while ago?

@ Scott – Agree! In fact, the name MM101 (and MM201/301) is a misnomer in that it seems to imply sequential stages … nothing could be further from the truth:

MM101 is about building a habit/mindset to ensure that you maximize your return from MM201 and don’t squander MM301. As soon as you have that MM101 mindset set – – move on! I believe that most of the MITs are ready for the next step …

I completely agree Adrian. I think Lee should go straight to the focus of coming up with his business idea and niche and go to work on it ASAP. As he begins to build this business and it begins to produce income for him, he can apply this income to what he’s learning to do in Money Making 101, only I believe it will get him through it faster.

I believe it will cost him a lot of money and time to wait until he perceives that he is through with Money Making 101. JMHO.

@ Scott – that’s ‘brother’ with a capital B

@ Lee – my job is SO much easier when I have 6 other MITs to help … ditto for any of the group

I should add that you need to find a path that is quick and requires little capital; the good news is that if you do (find one that requires little capital) your down-side risk is also limited, because nobody wants you to fall off the ladder, more so, hurt yourself badly if you do …

We already commenced a discussion on this (some time ago) offline (well, via e-mail), so it’s time to start bringing it into this forum: I think that you need to build a ‘Lee’ Brand … review your earn/do/spend/ability table to help you find the areas where you can be most passionate: http://7m7y.com/2009/01/06/my-growth-engines/

Then think about how Lee can get his name out there as THE go-to guy … we’ll then look at how to turn that into Lee Inc. as the MM201 phase of this ‘grand experiment’ progresses …

Any thoughts?

Lee that’s what we are here for brother. Help each out, keep each other on vision, on track and on a higher purpose.

Lee, I think the best advice I can give you is that when you are standing at the bottom of that ladder, a bit worried about the height to the top. Place a greater prize at the top of that ladder, one who’s joy, gifts, purpose and service to others and yourself is far greater than the fear you feel inside!

Dare yourself to live the life you where ‘created’ for.
