Financing available for anyone willing to start a company to compete with Mr. Fix It.

I've researched the other MrFix it and that isn't someone that I would be all that concerned about personally. But if that is what it is, then so be it.

I'm not going to lose sleep over the whole thing. Nick has broad shoulders and I am sure he has room for many ideas. If he isn't interested in my idea that I sent out a few days ago, then I'll market it to Amazon or someplace like that.

This is the Mr. Fix It that we see at other association meetings.

Yes, I saw him.



I agree Jay. I think your book is every bit as competitive against him in that market.

I think that my idea would go off in a different direction completely. But if I were someone looking to make an investment and see an excellent return, I'd go with my idea.

I am not opposed however to writing a book on a level with the one you are referencing at all. I am more than capable of doing that as well. That's what pseudonyms are for.

I was named in the Who's Who books for recognition of my writing skills years ago, and recently was solicited to write for a local newsletter. I love writing, and even if nothing comes of this (I still hope it does), I have found many new ideas and avenues just in the last two days to keep me more than busy and awake at night.

Should the book be written from here-say, or experience.

I believe I would get a contract of terms, or go it on my own before I invested time in it. Broad shoulders even drop things occasionally.

[wforsyth]

I agree. I am awaiting that in the mail.

As to hear-say or experience...? There are plenty of people who have massive amounts of experience and no talent whatsoever at writing in a manner interesting to the average person.

You would be surprised at how many people "write" books with the help of far more talented authors who ghost-write for them.

I would be more than happy to rewrite or editorialize someone else's material and repackage it for more successful marketing.

In the infamous words of Mark T. I must say "very nice".

NO, no picture of a chickie poo on the front !!!

Bought some stuff at Home Depot to work on a walkway and I got this plastic mold with chickie poo on the front---hair pulled up, nails polished, big ole smile. I said to myself "how hard can it be"

That was one of the darnest projects I'd done, I wasn't smiling, back was sore and I can't say that my hands were the smoothest after that day.

I complained for a week. It didn't seem fair, oh well

That's right, if you don't someone else will

Exactly.

I refuse to be bullied.

I really don't want to go into this thing but Mr. Fix It, whoever that is, forced me. He's selling cases of anti-NACHI books (that mention smaller associations but not NACHI) to NACHI members!

So he's forcing me to become a fierce competitor. We'll soon have a better book, at a better price, that at least treats NACHI fairly, marketed more agressively, and with better distribution infrastructure.

What a goof ball he must be. He spawned that competitor who will now eat his lunch. Talk about comitting business suicide.

[wforsyth]

What is the saying?

......is the mother of invention?

[wforsyth]

Nick,

I have an entire segment of my book dedicated to choosing a home inspector.

I'm pretty sure it will treat NACHI fairly.

You have already written it?
