'Too Small To Fail'…Paying Dividends Everyday

It’s all about attitude. Life is difficult for sure, but your attitude is what gets you through the inevitable down times.

I have been saying for a long time that to survive this downturn that the mantra ‘Too Small to Fail’ is worth a try.

Our government is broken and the financial system is broken. Confidence won’t return until trust is restored and I don’t trust the system. I don’t have conspiracy theory mistrust because that is too time and energy consuming.

As my pal ‘The Fy ‘ eloquently reminds us on trust and broken systems:

It took Bush 8 years to steal $1 trillion from the Treasury. These fucking bastards (Obama and Company) are attempting to do it in 1 week, without debate or opposition support. Bush used the war on terrorism to scare the shit out of us; now these fuckers will use pictures of the Great Depression to get what they want.

While that battle rages on in what already seems like an endless time warp, you can make shit happen.

I had a spiritual moment late this afternoon and TARP, CRISIS, BAILOUTS, DEPRESSION, BUSH and OBAMA had NOTHING to do with it.

I saw my freaking book at a Barnes and Noble store on 5th Avenue. Actually, I was checking the computer and Marissa saw it and yelled out. I was not expecting to see it on the stores until February 15th so I have no idea why I was milling around the store. James Altucher (four books) told me tonight that this store actually can get them first in the United States so just lucky I guess that I happened by.

Here is the photo (click to enlarge):

Of course I bought some copies (yep dumb) and as we snapped a photo while being told we could not. When I told them I was the author, one of the salesmen grabbed a pen and asked me to sign them all. I pitched a dude standing next to me and forced him to buy one. It was awesome.

I am not really an author and Wallstrip was just a dream, determination and good timing, but there is a book on the bookshelves and an exit to CBS. I did not need loans, a bank, TARP, Bush or Obama to make it happen and you don’t either.

Have a great weekend.
