I'm alive and well

Brandonf, as I recall, you had cancer. If not then you can ignore this post.

Right now I'm reading Anti Cancer which is a book by a doctor who has a brain tumor.

It has a lot of ideas to fight the disease with life style changes, as well as how to try and avoid it altogether.

I think that it is a very worthwhile read for anyone, either sick or well.

Why did Forex-forex lie? With what purpose?

I'm not sure what Forex-Forex motives could have been. I hope he was banned because it caused a lot of people a huge needless distraction.

When I told Toni, and asked her to send something out to her list, her reaction was "damn and I Just cancled that life insurance policy on ya!"

Overall I really do love this place, which is why I did not really stay away long I guess. There are a few people here who I could do without, but you know the truth is they could probably do without me too..so i guess it's all even.

During the time I was sick though, there were so many times where I felt like I was just waiting to die, and it's amazing how many times it was a person from this website that reached out to me and put a smile on my face. This is a much kinder place then you see on the surface.

Like I said in an earlier post, I have no idea what the future holds for me. Longer term my odds are about 50/50 - but I'm having more fun right now and more success then ever before. Maybe it's because those odds have brought everything into very clear focus for me, I don't know. But I finally have the relationship I always wished for, and I'm not only making a lot of money (which I've done before), but I'm loving it and living a well balanced life while doing it (which I've not done in the past).

I'm not here on ET as much as I used too be, simply because I'm less involved in the trading world. A few months ago the majority of my clients where in the trading niche, but now I'm getting a wide range of things, tango dancing, bar owners, dog training, weight loss, internet marketing, brokerage firms such as mbtrading, forex sites, etc etc. I've been able to hire 7 people in the last few months, including two in the US who are paid very well ($5K + per month). Not only have I hired people, but my clients have also added staff or not had to lay people off because of what I've done. Too me that is a better feeling then the money I'm making.

Anyway, I'm touched to see that so many people care- but also rather pissed that someone would think they should post someting like that. I do hope that the mods banned him, but I don't have any control over it.

Quote from Brandonf:

In the end all of our day's are numbered, this is something I have struggled with though. On three different occassions my family was told that they should be thinking about final arrangements, but I have thus far made it.

According to the doctors there is about a 60% chance of my illness coming back in the next five years, and if it does my odds of making it are terrible. For a long time I thought about this a lot, but slowly I'm moving past it.

Right now life is almost as good as it was bad at this time last year, something I never would have believed. I run my marketing business like a hedge fund in that I only get paid on results (typically 15% to 50% of the Net that I generate), and I've made more money already this year then I did any year aside from 2003 in my entire life. I've generated over $13million for other people's business so far this year, and at least 9 people are employeed because of me.

On a more personal level I've also started to see a girl that I've been crazy about for a long time. She's been beside me the entire time I was ill, even after I had to sell all of my stuff and move back in with my mom and dad because of a combo of being sick and broke. In the end I never asked her out because I did not feel like I had the right to hurt someone like that, but what I didn't realize is that she'd already bought herself a ticket and was along for the ride anyway...she just felt bad that I'd not ever said anything to her.

I finally did and I can say that I've never been happier.

In addition to my own business activities, I've also been actively helping the Republican Party of Florida, they have been able to apply some of what I do with launching new products on the Internet, and use that for campaign fundraising.

Aside from this new relationship, that is the most exciting thing going on in my life right now because it's a way that I can make a differnence. I really do want, when I die, to be able to say that my life was impactful, and not just to my own family and friends, but in a bigger way. I can't think of a way to have more impact...so right now my big thing is deciding if I'd like to more aggressively pursue this (and make a lot less money), or just kind of keep things where they are.

For anyone who's life is not what they want it to be right now, the only thing I can say is just to hold onto hope coz you just never know.

Nicely done, Brandon. You have my admiration and best wishes (except for that Republican thing, of course).
