Mr. Hamilton,
First, let me say thank you for your interest in me. This process has already shown to be a new stage in my life, and I am grateful for the hope it has given me. I intend to fully justify your interest before all is through.
The two heirlooms I received (the third one is on its way yet) were very hard to read because I already knew so much of them from how my life has played out. I have experienced to a very personal degree the effects of the neocheaters and the anticivilization. I know I must rise above all this and have tried many different ways, but have not yet succeeded.
The anecdote you used that spoke most to me was when you talked about your associate Dave. I am a singer/songwriter myself and I write on bass, keyboards and guitar. I have known for most of my adult life that I will have to get financially somehow to where my “night job” is my “day job” so I have the time to do all that is necessary to live my “Friday Night Essence”. Unfortunately I have made mistakes or not thought clearly at times or made wrong choices in associations or otherwise, which have been enough to keep me from that. But I am by myself now and am starting over, for better or worse. I am very interested in hearing the ideas and thoughts you have for the “Daves” you select.
This note is long, for which I apologize, but I will not be able to access the secret website for a time yet. I simply do not have $30 to my name. I was trying to pay bills off and being very aggressive with that when I lost my income. The accountant I worked for had merged his practice with another firm and that firm decided to un-merge. I am volunteering my time to help him re-establish his practice while I look elsewhere but I don’t have anything for now. My vehicle chose this time to go down and I am rationing my food. I mention all this only to ask that you please bear with me, as the spirit is willing but the portfolio is weak.
My record to this point would not seem to reveal a mind for business, but I have had to learn how to use it. I was diagnosed with ADD last year and I think I understand now why and how I think differently than most. I have reached a place where I can live with it.
As you have pointedly asked for these questions so that you know where we are, I have given you a personal description, to a point. If I could distill everything I am thinking and feeling now to one question, it would be: As your apprentice, do you have something in particular you would like me to focus on or do first?
Thank you for the opportunity to be of service.
Sincerely,
Tim Holstad
