Title: Updates on yours truly, TJ Hook
Post by: TJ Hooker on Jul 22, 2009, 07:30: AM
I received a private message from none other than my main man, Oli ,asking me about work and the daily grind.

I been gone awhile, no doubt, and that is due to a lot of entrpreneurial ventures I have set out.

My business is better than it has ever been. I hired a young stud straight from college who specializes in copywriting (the man is a genius), and he has lifted my sales by almost 7 percent in a matter of 3 weeks. Incredible. Easily this kid is going to be making $65,000 his first year and can only climb from there. I have had a lot of offers to merge and to sell, but frankly, this is a cash cow and I am milking this thing  :thumbsup:

I have been able to step out for a bit, and have this bitch running on auto-pilot for the most part, but I still was not satisfied. I opened up my horizons purchasing property and now own a 8 unit complex. Yeah, you heard me correctly. And had no problem finding tenants, only one vacant spot. Bought it out in Utah (Go figure--Any mormons on here? No? Alright then).

Now, with that passive income I have been able to play around in the stock market a little bit; had about 3 Booyahs in a month--Jim Cramer anyone?

My martin had a lot of problems with it and I got tired of fixing it, so I sold it and instead bought a Mercedes CL550. May be a bit of a step down, but have found the interior much nicer, and surprisingly a smoother ride. Also bought a Navigator while I was gone too for the long road trips I usually take.

I did have a failed venture though, that ended up costing me $15,000. I set out on an export/import partnership business with an absolute lunatic. The guy was a moron, but a hell of a salesman, which is how he got me. If I only I knew what I know now. Ladies and Gentleman, if you cannot speak Chinese, please do not try to negotiate with a Chinese CEO. Learn from my mistake.

I am now going to try my hand at Affiliate Marketing just for some extra side cash, and I will see where this takes me as well. If it fails, its not a problem, its just an experiment.

Anyways, by the looks of things for the Hook-man, it looks like I am going to be able to retire early. Most likely by the age of 25 and I am looking to move to Buenos Aires for a couple of months to relax.

Sorry for the long post, but that is ya boys business situtation.

Remember men/boys/ladies, live frugally, be smart, and if someone has already done it--Do it better.

Hook out.

This is not the TJ Hook I remember from the old times.. Still interesting to read what you're in to.

Thanks for the support on the board :cheers:
Nice to see some people congratulating instead of getting sour grapes, (Elite)
who obviously can't stand to see someone doing better than them. Understandable.
There will always be those kind of people.

Moby, I run/started an accounting and financial services business (don't know if anyone remembers me talking about that--see tj
's small bizz thread started by mr.fraud detective: Elite, in an attempt to mock me. Didn't work by the way).

As for people saying I am rich; I'm not. I would consider myself well off. Being rich is measured on how long you are able to survive without
a job or working. I have some passive income, but not enough to live lavishly without work. I am more well-off. I still work everyday to become rich.

No.

The differences:

Talking G and 'black'--No sales, 2 bedroom apartment in Oakland

Talking presentable and educated--a million dollar business, and a luxury bachelor pad in San Jose.

You learn that pretty quick in the business world. People evolve. I doubt you talked the same way 5 years ago, even 9 months ago, than you do now.

Thizz is still what it is though. I will never forget where I come from.

Dream home? No. That is my 8 unit I referred to on page one.

both of your lives sound shitty to me

just putting it out there

as an aspiring poet, I've resigned myself to relative poverty, or a tenuous professorship

but I'd be far happier with that

that's just me, though
