Balls like a Brass Monkey


Some people go through life without ever taking any chances. I feel very sorry for these people because without risk there is no reward. The person who is handed everything without doing anything has no idea about how good it feels to earn their own way. The ones in life who take chances are the ones who are success full. No other way. I have seen people who never even take a lead off so to speak , never take there foot off first base, just be fed whatever comes there way without even ever taking a chance whole lifetimes. These are not my kind of people. I am a risk taker. My associates are risk takers. My good friend and partner Greg is the best example of this and that is why I work with him. He has Balls like a Brass monkey and that to me is the very most admirable quality in man. The whiskey will always taste much better for the guy who risks and wins.

All Hat No Cattle


In my position as a fund Raiser,/ investment relations manager/ Business developer, I tend to find many people who talk a good game. People tend to say one thing and do another. This is for sure not how I was taught to do Business. After more than 25 years of work experience on the Trading floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, I was taught that your word is your bond period nothing else end of story. If you say you are going to do something you do it. Unfortunately many, many people that I deal with almost on a daily basis have never even thought of this concept. They will tell you something and totally do the opposite. For me that is one of the things that makes daily life as a fund raiser/salesman extremely challenging. To say that I have been stroked, on a daily basis for many years is an understatement. Money makes people funny, all I ever need is a straight answer, yes I am interested and will invest, or want to do Business with you or, no thank you this is something that is not for me. To me as a salesman each no just gets me closer to a yes, it is a numbers game. In my humble opinion as a sales man a lot of people are really just trying to impress others and maybe even themselves. I myself have not really had that luxury since I have always enjoyed being the salesman not the prospect, but when I say I am doing something I stand by my word. The real thing is someone who puts his money where his mouth is. Way way, too many people are walking around with all hat and no cattle.

Peace,Love and Virtual Reality


Virtual Reality, Peace, and Love. In our world on this Planet we call earth to be happy and truly at peace, people need to connect with other people. That is the way , no other way, we have to be there for our brothers and sisters, those are everyone who can appreciate us. If another cannot appreciate you then don't waste your time. Connecting people is what virtual worlds do best, better than face book or any of the other static web based sites. Connecting people all over the globe in a very visceral way that a back and forth e mail or even an instant message cannot. The only real equation for peace, love, and happiness in my humble opinion is to be there for someone when they need you, even if that means personal sacrifice. Being there for someone is connecting, connecting is facilitated by Virtual worlds, so Virtual worlds are godly in that respect alone. A person who connects with another, and sacrifices for them, and is there at there time of need, is a person who is at peace and knows what love means. Can you dig it?

Start me up


Start me up, but be ready for action. I have been working at Simuality, and Avatrait for almost a year. I enjoy trying new things and new challenges. I like to see things grow from nothing into something. That is what we are doing, building a new type of Internet. We have strong ideas and strong people that work to make these ideas a reality. As a person in charge of investor relations for a start up Virtual Reality company this can be challenging, more so in the Mid West versus the West Coast, more so when the economy is sliding into recession, even so I love to have a challenge and have not been one to shy away from one. I will keep grinding to achieve my goal, that is what I do. When I first met my associates Antony and Greg I believed in them and their mission, it took me about 10 minutes to be committed to working with them on this dream, that commitment is still intact and going stronger than ever. This has now become a mission for me.

Baby Steps


The only way to get ahead in Business, from my experience is baby steps. There are no shortcuts, you have to first walk before you can run. My experience in anything that has been worthwhile has been baby steps first. Any thing else just wont work. People can have luck, but that does not mean that the person did not take many baby steps to get to that point of being lucky. We at Simuality are really pioneers of the new web. We are teaching people daily about the benefits of this new technology and its many applications. This process is complex and it takes a many hours of educating others. Once people are educated on the Virtual worlds, that is when we move forward as a company. This has taken many, many, baby steps and I assume it will take many, many more. It is a rare person who has insight into the future of advertising, the Internet, and art, that really gets our Business model without being educated first. So we take our baby steps, and we educate, and we move forward.

Believe and you Receive Doubt and go without


Without a strong conviction and belief in whatever endeavor a person may take on, in my opinion it is useless. If a person believes strong enough anything is achievable.
I am a person who has overcome many obstacles in my life. The reason I say this, is in Business you have ups and downs highs and lows, just the same as you do in real life. The people who can overcome these swings are the ones I believe are the most successful in life and Business. My associates and myself are ones who believe, and they believe strongly, in my opinion this eventually will translate into major success, in our Business endeavors, and in life in general. I believe, I will receive. This is what will separate Simuality from the others.
