Ok, so I've spent 10 yrs in the Navy gaining real-world leadership experience, got my MBA, ran a marathon, moved to Silicon Valley, did a couple of years in corporate America working for AT&T,

Meanwhile, I've read Rich Dad, Poor Dad & tons of other "how to" books, including bios of successful entrepreneurs, talked to gurus, gone to seminars, got my real estate license, even founded a non-profit & LLC -

While I've had some successes investing in real estate, still here I am ..trying to figure out my next big thing!

I know that my life's calling (Callings, Gregg Michael Levoy) is not to simply find another job. But like everyone else the reality is that bills need to be paid!

Some of my current ideas include:

1) a business combining Fedex / Kinko's services with Starbucks amenities - we're seeing more & more self-employed & entrepreneurs; companies like Costco are already catering to their needs so this real estate play fills a niche that's currently empty

2) another is the Entrepreneur channel - maybe an unlikely alliance between Entrepreneur & Inc. magazines and educator like Robert Kiyosaki? mission: to provide programming dedicated to inspire people in making their dreams realities - to educate kids & prepare them for our "New Economy," where lifetime jobs are no longer the rule & government is not the answer to retirement

3) "personal reader service" - sort of like what the President, CEO's & the like typically have - except here it's a combo of outsourcing & online subscriptions - possibly built on an alliance between KeepMedia, Blue Dolphin (great service), Amazon, eBay or Netflix (using their grass roots / community feel) to allow folks to share ratings & comments, leveraging off each other's experience; meanwhile, intermediaries or consultants can suggest articles they feel are relevant to a suscriber; they, too, are rated for their helpfulness..

Similarly, I'm planning to start up a local business book club here in the Bay Area..

..so anyone interested in helping out, please let me know! (Plus check out ideasAloft - amazing how a old theater became renovated as a "Creative Experience Center".. http://www.ideasaloft.com/default.html)

One of the main dilemmas that I imagine actors & celebrities face is how to balance between speaking from the heart & avoiding things that'll make you cringe at seeing yourself years from now! Any advice in this area would certainly be appreciated..

I guess at this point I'm just putting it out there to the universe that I'm just not willing to give up! So, I'm sending some positive, higher vibrations out there & seeing how it's manifested in the universe! (Dr. Wayne Dyer, There's a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem)
