I'm proud of your dude, you deserve this!!  It's going to be great, you are going to be kicking A$$ soon.  Doors always open when doors close, you just gotta have faith. I know what you mean about sweating too, we all do.  In the pulpit I'd be sweating bullets, face would be red, I'd be thinking I was going to die it was so hot, I'd look over the congregation and I'd be the only one sweating.  Not now bro, heh heh. Again, Congrats from your bud, BobM.

Cb, Really happy for you, being self employed I can relate to your situation. Your a great guy and like Bama, Elvis, Boner, Dx and Russ to name a few, one of the people I look to for solid advise, but life comes first. Keep in touch for your sake as well as ours. I'm sure once the dust settles will see more of you. Heck two nights in a motel they have a gym and Internet! Take care I'm a little jealous! C'ya Bob 

Fred, Clearly you can tell from the responses, We are so proud!! “Get the Lap-Top”, “”Use the Exer-Bands,” etc… Suddenly, we’re all Polonius Giving last minute advice and thoughts, To make sure you get all you can from the world, Because we want the Best for YOU! Here’s mine- Icon yourself. Pick about 3 ties, all in the same color And only wear those. Same with shirts, pants, etc… “Power Colors” are Red(most) Blue (2^nd) and Green (3rd) Go with a stripe or pattern (only 3) And stick to them. Spend some bucks. For the same reason that Coca-Cola Always uses the same “Brand” Colors and images, Individuals can gain a little “Umph” from the same branding. You can skimp on shirts, and pants, But spend the bucks on jackets and ties. If getting a suit?  Armani Baby! Make the client “Wish he was You!” IMAGE is Über-Important, (Particularly in California) Use it to your favor. Don’t only be your excellent self,  Look it. Hope to hear you are happy with the new job,

 

Which is actually the most important thing. Just keeping asking yourself- “Would I do this for free if I had the funds?” If so?  Keep doing it. If Not.  Work to get to doing those things That are your Bliss. How Col that WLS Opened this door for you. (you do know it was YOU that opened the door?) Keep it Up! Best Wishes- Dx

Well congrats man.  Who would have thunk it a year ago when you were soliciting advice for said back pain.  You have had a lot to overcome and deserve this chance.  Go got em. Scott

CB,

I rarely check out the boards anymore, but I'm glad I did this morning so I could send along my hearty congratulations!  As you've told me before, we are very similar in our progress and your great news just shows it in one more way.  Six months ago, I became the only male secretary in our organization of 5000 employees, not to mention that I'm the secretary to one of the top executives.  I would never have done that 2 1/2 years ago.  Our lives have really gotten better in those 2 1/2 years, in more ways than one. 

Congratulations CB.  I know you'll do great.  I'll keep an eye out for progress reports.
