To my way of thinking... you would probably be giving up control and that is never a good thing. If you can find a lender instead of an investor who wants to "call the shots"... that would be a good thing... but the terms and lifespan of the loan would need to be very generous.

With so much competition today... you (and the rest of us) have very long odds but I wish you all the best. Someday, I hope to buy a bestseller written by you, outlining the path you took to find success.

Thank you Dave! Very thoughtful of you to offer that suggestion! If I go to someone like Cuban, he would first say, "If you do this stuff, aren't there others doing the same and more, who are already doing it more than you in all of the business fields"?
I would have to say,,,,"well, yes, so shall I show myself out the door"? Ha!

My ad is more of tongue in cheek joke, saying what many of us probably have been saying to our spouses or friends at one time or another. ("If someone would only put me in a room and have me produce it all for them, well, things would really happen")!

Ha!

I can do advertising productions, with ideas too, but that is all usually done by people IN advertising! smile But if one should have connections to that field, and he puts me or you or others in a room and says, "Ok, Produce for this market or product:, we would assume we can do it! That is all I am doing with this sort of a silly ad. Just having fun with the notion that we all must have at times: "I can do that"!
