    Normally I am a very calm person, but today I am ready to jump out of my skin. In February I started a new company with a friend dealing in the oil & gas industry. We have had several nice orders, but last week i put out a quote that basically would mean 1 year of living expenses to me.

    I just got a fax that all looks good and they just need someone to sign off on the purchase order which should come through today.

    The wait is just nerve-wracking.

    Nope, although my wife says I have plenty of it. We sell parts to the pipelines.

    You selling used gas pumps, Roman? My neighbor does it here. He makes a TON of money doing that. He hired this chick to answer phones and she made enough sales in a month, that he bought her a Mercedes :O

    No, new parts, but the money in that industry is just insane.

    Criminy! Good luck. In through the nose... out through the mouth.

    Find your calm place.

    Then be sure to post footage of the dance you do when the deal closes!

    I told my wife I'd dance through the streets naked, so no pictures.

    I would have shat a brick by now if I were you. Good luck with that. Maybe meditate or something...

    Thanks, I might not get confirmation till tomorrow as the one that signs purchase orders never returned to the office from a meeting and most likely won't be in till tomorrow. I gotta get drunk.

    Don't drink till the deal is done... you may still need to contribute soberly to close it off.

    Hope it works out for you.

    I wanted to work on my site today, but I just can't focus, but here is something I figured out:

    If I spent the time this deal takes me and received the same income on a regular full time basis I would earn in the neighborhood of $250,000,000.00/year.
