Re: Ya kinda set yourself up, dude. :)

Hello everybody. This is the first time I've had the "courage" to post on this board (make that any board). One question that I have is, what is the definition of a "newbie". Frank states "I've launched several businesses in my time and currently own three, one of which currently nets near $100k/ yr. online and then he states, "And that kinda talk doesn't feel so good to a newbie like me, Jimbo"
Wow, to make $100K/ yr and still call yourself a "newbie". I thought a "newbie" would be someone like me from the "typewriter" age trying to learn that a "cookie" is not something that you eat. I am learning soo much from this site. thank you.
