Currently I call myself Founding Author of Success Circuit but am not sure if I like that title either! I have never liked the term “CEO”, not even for the big guys.

At the beginning of the post I was thinking to myself of how this idea would never work and I was kinda right. Good job on actually getting going. I tend to over think my ideas to the point where I think they're crap before I start on anything. You sound like an interesting guy. Email me if you'd like to chat. We've got lots in common. Haha.

One of my favorites. I definitely see your point. Thanks for the comment. This reminds me of the saying “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” One of my favorites. I definitely see your point.

It certainly sounds like you've got the qualities to be succesful. I think you undervalue what you refer to as your inexperience because it was really optimism and the ability to think big and take action. Somebody "experienced" might have never stepped to the plate and begun to execute on the idea; if you never step to the plate you have 0% chance of getting a hit. But I can tell from your attitude that you'll be back at the plate many more times in your life. Good luck. Good post. It certainly sounds like you’ve got the qualities to be succesful.
