'Too Small To Fail'...Paying Dividends Everyday

It’s all about attitude. Life is difficult for sure, but your attitude is what gets you through the inevitable down times.

I have been saying for a long time that to survive this downturn that the mantra ‘Too Small to Fail’ is worth a try.

Our government is broken and the financial system is broken. Confidence won’t return until trust is restored and I don’t trust the system. I don’t have conspiracy theory mistrust because that is too time and energy consuming.

As my pal ‘The Fy ‘ eloquently reminds us on trust and broken systems:

While that battle rages on in what already seems like an endless time warp, you can make shit happen.

I had a spiritual moment late this afternoon and TARP, CRISIS, BAILOUTS, DEPRESSION, BUSH and OBAMA had NOTHING to do with it.

I saw my freaking book at a Barnes and Noble store on 5th Avenue. Actually, I was checking the computer and Marissa saw it and yelled out. I was not expecting to see it on the stores until February 15th so I have no idea why I was milling around the store. James Altucher (four books) told me tonight that this store actually can get them first in the United States so just lucky I guess that I happened by.

Here is the photo (click to enlarge):

Of course I bought some copies (yep dumb) and as we snapped a photo while being told we could not. When I told them I was the author, one of the salesmen grabbed a pen and asked me to sign them all. I pitched a dude standing next to me and forced him to buy one. It was awesome.

I am not really an author and Wallstrip was just a dream, determination and good timing, but there is a book on the bookshelves and an exit to CBS. I did not need loans, a bank, TARP, Bush or Obama to make it happen and you don’t either.

Have a great weekend.
