I think I hit a plateau where I was making small amounts per sale. From past experience what happens when I hit a plateau is that I crash for a brief period of time before taking off on the next level.

So I'm hoping I'm at the next level, where I'm making larger amounts per sale (someone out there is keeping track of my profit /sale right?).

Also met with a friend and started looking into wholesaling real estate, so we'll see where that rabbit hole (worm hole?) leads.

Also had a crazy string of flaky people like I've never seen - no shows, reschedulers, etc. Might be the price range, as I'm in the $200 - $400 /bike price now.

Fastlane wise, I'm not getting too far on this book idea. Lots of false starts. I'm a Tim Ferriss fan, so I'm thinking I might review his blog posts and books to get a better grasp on format. Generally though I think he sort of does an anecdote followed by explanation. He also does lots of interviews. Maybe I should start a blog and do interviews.
