There is no chance he won't be a millionaire

In between working on the Matadortravel website (more like volunteering, as paychecks are highly non-existent) and getting my life sorted in the Bay Area, I have been working part time for the Christmas Light Pros (a company started up by my New Zealander buddy) to make money. It's pretty much what it sounds like; we set up christmas lights at peoples' houses and because we are acutely trained professionals*, they pay us an absurd amount of money to do it. I have also been looking for other jobs (commercial real estate, sales, etc), but I have found it really difficult to commit to something with the website's funded future possibly months away.

More importantly, the Christmas Light Pros business acumen and overall presentation is pretty good, I have to admit. At times it has been offset by one member of the CLP crew that dyed his hair punk rocker red, wears knee high leather boots, patched pants, a leather jacket and a top hat.

Our lives run pretty parallel to each other... He is involved with a couple of startups, and we both work to put food on the table. His start ups are: a dark Christian rock band and some herbal pill pyramid scheme he just got involved with.

It is slightly humorous to hear him speak about his new herbal pill venture. Most notably, after taking the pills, he reportedly felt "woosy, trippy and out of wack", which is alarming as the pills are meant to be a dietary supplement. Nonetheless, he has gone forward with his businessish plan. When he speaks about it, it doesn't appear that he actually know what the company does and all he says is that he has to sign people up (just like how he got signed up) and after he signs 35 people, he will get a BMW, take a carnival cruise and make $12,500 per month.

He later added that after one month of work, he would take his $12,500, sell his BMW and cruise vacation, and quit the job to travel.. I think he has it figured out. As long as he stays off the 'woosy' pills, there is no way he can fail.
