Greetings!
I saw some confusion from a few on the thread posted by Eduardo Cruz. Please note, that gentleman is from Puerto Rico and is a newcomer to the forum. I notice he signs some of his postings "Eduardo" too. I hope that there will not be any confusion between his postings and mine.
Thanks,
Eduardo Leaton Jr.
Yeah, it's easy to get you spics mixed up... MODS -- I AM KIDDING, I'VE KNOWN EDUARDO FOR A LONG TIME AND HE WOULD GET THE JOKE.
Edited to add: Eduardo, it looks like you're really doing well for yourself. I'm proud. It _almost_ makes me want to dig up my H2O CDROMs and look for your posts going back 6 or 7 years.
Hey Cygnus,
Nah. After working for the government for 7 years, feeling like Joe in the beginning of Joe vs. The Volcanoe, with the lights of the basement literally sucking the life out of me and getting a new B e atch of a boss, it was time to try and do my own thing. It's been a struggle. The wife is on my back and doesn't fully support my efforts to be my own boss and work at my own practice/business and would prefer that I just get a steady paycheck from the Man but she's from a culture that doesn't understand entrepreneurship. Things are getting better, I only opened up my shingle beginning last year and actually haven't done any advertising. The clients I have gotten have just been referrals and word of mouth but I am going to be focusing on marketing in 2005.
Cygnus, much has changed with me regarding the Organization since the Houglass2Outpost days, as you can no doubt tell. Ok so some of you were right
One of my side-projects is the development of my own JW topical website, Jehovahs-Witnesses.net, which I hope to have up in a few months. I will be interested to see how it goes over with the old Net-Vets and newbies too.
How is the personal life these days? PM me sometime.
Later,
Eduardo
Hey Eddie........ you're a good man. I wish you tons of success seeing that you're putting a lot of hard work into your enterprise. My family business just purchased a large facility so we have a lot of work ahead. Which is a good thing because the last three weeks have been the worst of my life. Your wife will come around when the profits begin and the bank account grows hehehe. Word of mouth is great advertising - and it's free! Be careful how much money you spend on marketing, but you do gotta do it, you need what I call call "premium costumers"... the ones who trust you implictly and pay you no-questions-asked. You still have to have the difficult and profitless customers (I take care of them mostly out of conscience) but if you don't get word of mouth benefits at least you have something to feel good about.
You are a rare person I've met that has been able to bring spirituality (not religion) and worldly wisdom to success. Even though we'll probably never meet I'll never forget you.
Edited to add: you seem busy enough. Sure you want to bother wish a JW related website? Also my personal life has been hell. This month of March I lost a lot of my soul, my fiance, I have multiple chronic health issues, and any spirituality I had left in me. I'm in therapy hoping for brighter days ahead. A weather change would be nice, it's still cold and snowy here in Buffalo. So I took a couple of weeks off of work and I'm re-finding myself.
