Flat Broke but Filthy Rich February 10, 2010

Seems its the mantra of us all. Even the bum on the street with the outstretched hand has to have a bit of it to keep whatever keeps him going, going. I have sympathy for him, I’ve been there. The only difference between the two of us is I have a greater change of making it out of the dark isolated corners of hell and back into the light. 
The bum who asked for money for the 9,354th time made me reflect on the odd psychological monetary dichotomy I’m in. I just released three iPhone applications to Apple for review.
I feel absolutely rich yet my pockets are lined with lint and copper. It’s very strange having no capital but creating items that can make tons of it. I’m living in the in-between place.
I’m walking with the air of an aristocrat who is on sabbatical dressed as a transient to divert attention from himself but he can’t hide his lineage and gets called out anyway. That’s happening to me. I must have “crossed over” somewhere this month past the tipping point of who I was to what I will be.
It’s an aphrodisiac to women I’ve noticed as well. It amazes me how a mental state can alter the perceptions of others. I don’t think this is a place one can “think” themselves into. I think it is a spot that one has to make.
This post is only here to segue into a discussion of the iPhone applications that were just released so I’ll end with:
Money money money…its all on my tree. The only issue is…they haven’t given it to me.
We made our first money! October 13, 2009
Posted by Mike in : Mike, Money, Rio , 1 comment so farAlessandra made 27 cents.
In frustration as we boiled over at fever pitch trying to run 6 or 7 ideas, (see the post on quitting) Alessandra spent $1,000 on her credit card and took off to LA in the hopes of relieving some stress. During that waste of time, she stole 27 cents off of this guy’s desk.
This totally counts towards our 1 million.
She came back, shrugged her shoulders and is back at this game again.
The moral is, push though the pains, learn from mistakes, and don’t quit. If you do quit, yet still come back and try again, then that makes you an entrepreneur.
P.S. I figure tit for tat, so I stole the 27 cents from her and am going to put it in a little frame that will read:
“I am now officially an entrepreneur!”
Good job Alessandra! Someone had to make a buck.
