Whenever I hear a race car I get a tingly sensation throughout my entire body, the energy just surges up through me to the point where I wan to let out a big “YEEAHHHH” and then get behind the wheel. (Photo: James Hunt) » More Photos
The momentum pendulum has finally started to swing in the right direction! These past two weeks have been extremely exciting for me, despite facing an abundance of adversity. Fortunately for me, however, maintaining a positive attitude at all costs and refusing to say “uncle” seems to be working.
A few days ago, my Dad said something that really had an impact on me. He said, “The truly amazing and successful people in life are the one’s that bounce back from being knocked down.” Now, more than ever, I know this to be true.

This brings me to the theme of my latest piece: investing in “The Business”. On the downside, my cell phone bill has been astronomically high over the past few months (Houston, we have a problem…). But the really scary part is that I keep adding minutes to my plan thinking “that should be plenty,” but it never is.

Soon, I will be able to share some great news about future driving plans.
