How did you hear about 48Days.NET, and what do you hope to get out of being a part of this community?

I heard about this site from the Dave Ramsey show. I would like to learn how to start and run a business.

What is your current work situation? Employee, self-employed, generating any income on your own?

I’m currently looking for work. I was let go from Freescale semiconductor during a 10% work force cut.

And then...what is the goal/dream you are striving for regarding your work life?

I would love to work in a field that was all about entertainment. People having fun because of the service I provided.

How about your personal life? Any specific goals or achievements or dreams you are pursuing (or want to pursue)?

I would like to learn how to run a business in a short time. It looks like you have to spend a lot of time in school to get going. It would be nice to work with someone in person I think.

What would you say are your core competencies? How are you 'wired' and what can you offer to the world (it's OK if you don't know yet, but knowing is key to pursuing your dreams!)?

Having fun or making fun of most any opportunity or occasion. Love to tinker with things. Ability to set up and operate specialized and sophisticated automated / manual manufacturing equipment.
