Back from New York
I spent the last few days in New York. My partners and I had a meeting with a private lender for the oil deal. He’ a pretty interesting chap. He has a pool $300 million which he uses to make short-term and bridge loans. Jewish ex-wall street guy. Very sharp and hard-nosed. We discussed the deal for 2 hours after which he left for a plane to Naples, Florida where he was going fishing for the weekend. I guess we’ll know whether he’s interested when he gets back on Monday.
Incidentally, while I was there I read a really neat Star Wars book, Heir to the Empire (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 1)

I know that feeling of ordering a much anticipated book. Enjoy

Good gravy, those are some big numbers in that oil deal! Now, I hope you’re reading everything you can get your hands on about the oil business. As an entrepreneur, all the responsibilities fall on your shoulders–and, it’s your responsibility to know everything you can about any new investment field you’re considering (of course, you could’ve grown up in oil fields for all I know). I’ve heard many times that a person with zero restaurant experience is almost guaranteed to fail at restaurant ownership! I’m not trying to rain on your parade, though! I don’t want you to think small–on the contrary, I’d love to see this oil deal come to fruition! I love a good story about a self-made multi-millionaire! It reminds me that it’s possible! Best of luck!
