		<description>Hi Tim,

Thank you so much for going ahead and writing your book. It&#039;s exactly what I needed to be reading to get to the next level in my life and business.

I want to find out if you could share how you went about creating Brain Quicken LLC. 

You mentioned in your book that you researched starting a dietary supplement company and two weeks later you had your first product to ship. 

Would you go into more detail about the process you followed to find the product you wanted to market and how other people could do the same thing. 

I&#039;ve been quite successful of network marketing but for the last 10 months I&#039;ve realized more and more that I don&#039;t want a business that requires my presence but rather has systems that run it and your book just came at the right time.

Thank you so much for not being a fluff writer.

		<description>I Chose to avoid television at all costs sometime after I graduated high school in 1999. I have been to the movie theater a total of five times since then. I have always been a fan of horror films and murder mysteries - mainly intrigued by the way in which the crimes are solved. Perry Mason, Murder She Wrote, Matlock, etc.

When I began watching movies and television again (although selectively) the first movie I saw was Hostel. Needless to say it was quite a culture shock. That movie, along with all of the garbage from the media I&#039;ve accumulated over my life has killed my taste for movies, television, horror and... oh heck, it slightly killed my sensitivity to watching people be cut open. The problem with that is now when I see serious wounds in person - things I would be squeamish about when I was a child - no longer affect me.

I studied criminal justice briefly in college and thanks to the media I can eat a full lunch while watching an autopsy. What a wake-up call for me. Being involved in the area of violence prevention, specifically in school, &quot;media violence&quot; is an issue I&#039;ve had to tackle more times than Paris has put on that horrible pink lipstick. Violence in the media doesn&#039;t directly cause our kids to be violent... but in conjunction with a toxic world filled with other vile influences, it sure can&#039;t be conducive to a healthy way of life. 

I&#039;d watch Paris on TV before I would subject myself to modern day crime media. But in the end I&#039;m sure both would have the same effect on me. *headdesk*

The saddest part of all is that people in this world are genuinely interested in that Paris/Lindsay Lohan bull. 

I&#039;ve started a &quot;Good News&quot; website to counter the garbage that is out there. The American media focuses only on the negative and whatever drama-of-the-week will boost their ratings. I respect Oprah, Steven Colbert, Bill Mahr, Anderson Cooper, a few other CNN guys whose names I can&#039;t remember and Larry King. That&#039;s about it.</description>
