In the search for a partner I have one person I am interested in and 3 backup people I will feel out given the first one decides not to come aboard. My strategy in business has always been to never put all your eggs in one basket. Make sure you have a backup and a backup backup and a backup backup backup if you can help it. One of my 3 backup people I find very unlikely to come aboard because I don’t think he takes me seriously. However, I still went ahead and told him that I was interested and told him I would make an offer to him at some point. Now, I probably should have waited till I was sure the first person didn’t accept but I feel that all of these people will come available pretty soon and I wanted to make my intentions known.

Really, I am loyal and also I feel my first choice for a partner is the best choice but I don’t really know if he’s going to accept. I have a feeling his spouse doesn’t think I’m for real or something of that nature. Oh, but I am so for real. Why some people don’t take me seriously I’ll never figure out. Maybe I don’t seem like the type of person that succeeds because I’m laid back and seem ‘aloof’ at times. Every goal I have set my mind to I have achieved in some way or fashion even if I didn’t hit it right on the nose. I’ve helped bring my friends up many times. I’ll admit to dragging my feet from time to time or appearing to be stubborn but these traits don’t define me. I truly am blessed and want to bless others as a result.

Finding a great programmer that is willing to be a partner is a hefty endeavor when people don’t really take you seriously. What’s funny is this is the only time in my life I have had people not take me seriously and this is the time I’m most serious. I guess I have to remember that most of the people I’m talking to don’t know me very well. I’m going to provide a good life for my new family and I don’t see anything that will stop me from achieving that goal. However, I do believe that everything falls in to place given you have enough ambition to set up the right pieces in life. So, I’m sure the right person will come forward at some point and make a commitment and that’s all I’ll need to drive my business to the next stage.
