This was just a quick first draft, I was planing on changing the template style - but thanks for the input

I'm not trying to say that I'm a rude obnoxious jerk or anything like that, just that I have a no-nonsense "lets get down to business" style that not everyone appreciates. When it comes to building a business, I dont play around and I tell it like it is and call things as I see them.

That's the attitude I tried (maybe unsucessfully) to show on the page. If a potential customer sees the page and is somehow offended and leaves, I've done my job by eliminating them because if they don't like my style they're not going to like working with me.

To be honest, this whole thing is more about having fun than about making money. I enjoy building businesses and I enjoy traveling. If I can get paid to do it, all the better. The last thing I want to worry about is watching what I say or how I say it.

And these are the same people who are putting 5 to 10K on their credit cards because some boiler room salesperson who couldn't care less about their business sold them a dream that they could never deliver. I have no problem taking 5k from these same people because I know that they will likely have their 1/2 down deposit back before their first credit card payment is due.

Good points and I'll work on that.

Thanks for all the input.
