For some reason, whenever someone goes for a money
grab, the public at large decides to turn their back
and label them as some sort of a bad guy. I can agree
that in many circumstances, this may be the right
course of action, but there is a circumstance in
where I feel it is justified.
Here I am, just a guy, I have spent more than $20,000
of my own money on this project so far. I am not a
rich man at this point in my life. I just finished
filing my taxes and I am barely breaking $60,000 of
net income TOTAL from all of my wife's and my own
income. Now, I want to make a movie. I don't just
want to make it, but I want the message of this film
to reach the people who need it. I want them to be
inspired by this guy who went through years of
gluttony and being the average overweight person who
finally decided to turn his life around and make a
vision he always had for himself come true! I want
these people to see it and decide for themselves that
now is the time for them to get off the couch and do
it for themselves and to know that I will be there to
offer support and guidance if need be to get them
there! There is just one problem though...... I just
did my taxes and realized in the harshest way and in
no uncertain terms, that I am truly and even if only
just for this passing moment, I am just plain BROKE!
Don't get me wrong, I am sure I'll be fine. After
having spent the better part of the whole last year
working on this project and paying for it with the
green stuff every step of the way, of course I should
expect to be low on funds, but once I get my
Real Estate Investing and
Insurance Service off of the
back burner, my hope is that the situation will
turn around, but that can be slow in coming and
just as all things that are worth while, it
takes to to do it right and ethically.
Making a movie and even just getting the message out
there takes a little thing in this world called
money. Sure there are other ways, but they typically
require VAST networks of friends and associates
dedicated to the cause of spreading the word. Let's
face it though, I am just a guy who works and takes
care of 3, soon to be 4 small children. I don't have
limitless networks of friends and associates, so
unless I can recruit all those who read this to my
cause, I still need the cash. Even with the best word
of mouth possible, to do some of the things that I
need to do to get this movie off the ground and in
front of the audiences that need to see it, it still
takes the green stuff!
So, I am not asking for pity, or even a donation
here..... I am asking though that if you've taken the
time to read this that you take a look at the home
page of this website and consider trying the products
that I am offering there. Once I get the store going
on this website, check it out and don't be afraid to
buy something, then of course, TELL YOUR FRIENDS! If
you know Oprah, Ellen, Maurey, or any of those that
have a huge audience, let them know that what I am
trying to do here is for the good of all and all I
really want to do is let the world know about it for
the benefit of those who really need to see it.
Thanks so much for reading this little rant and I
hope and pray for your well being and support!
