[MJ DeMarco]

Note to this article: "That Guy" can be a man or a woman.



Folks it is that time again. It is the time when a "that guy" emerges. You know the guy. You read about him all the time in the magazines, newspapers, and on the web.

"That guy" is created on every boom and every bust.

Who is "That Guy?"

Very good article.
Maybe you should put it in the Fastlane Articles. That way you can get some Diggs and other links back to it.

I am that guy. The media appearances is the only thing that is missing at this moment and it will come. I don't think, I know for certain.

Forbes Magazine, or the list Forbes put forth is my ultimate aim. That is the best recognition you can get as a money maker.
