I have been working for a entrepreneur that has a number of storage facilities across the country.  He started many years ago with one small self storage facility, and has branched out into owning a very large number.

A number of years ago, he decided to move into the market of yacht storage.  Since we live in a country that has winter for six months of the year, there is a demand for yacht storage units in our area.  At the time there were no other storage providers in the area, so it was a profitable untapped market for him.

His business has grown to the point where he has added a couple of yacht storage unit to each of his storage facilities close to water.  This way he has increased his bottom line significantly with little extra investment.  I just hope to be as savvy of a business man as him someday - that is why I am learning from the best.

I have decided that I should cash-in on my expertise online.  There are definitely some hobbies and skills that I have that I could bring to the table and sell as useful guides to the world.

Though some people might say that there are already enough e-books on the market, I would disagree.  There is still opportunity to share tips and tricks with the world.

But, I really have to consider where I should begin.  I mean, I could talk about caring for my fish aquarium, but I feel that something like that would be a little too boring for me.  I need to write about something that I am passionate about and that more than a handful of people would find interesting.

So, I have decided to write: "Motorcycle Trader: The Art of Buying Motorcycles".  It will target first time motorcycle shoppers and provide insight into what you need to look for while shopping for a motorcycle.

Hopefully I will be able to get the book out to market in a couple of months.  I can’t wait to see how well it does.

I will be moving to a smaller home in a few short weeks and I have one problem: there will be no room for my boat.  I had thought of parting with it, but each summer I take it out each weekend to the lake - and I just don’t want to give that up.

Realizing that I didn’t know what I could do with the boat or where I could store it, I needed to find a place to keep it that had easy access so that I could use it each weekend.

I looked online for more information at a self storage article directory and found some good information on what my options were and what would be good for me.

I now just have to contact some self storage companies in the area to see if they offer what I am looking for - I will feel much better once it has been taken care of.

I like to party just as much as anyone else, but sometimes I can find myself a little low on cash.  Hey, we all experience this at different times during the month and it sucks as it can seriously cramp your social life.

But, being short on cash has made me a more resourceful person.  I mean, if I want to go to one of the many Las Vegas clubs and I can’t afford it, it makes me think of "how" I am going to go.  It can be as simple as cleaning the house to find money, or it can be something like looking online for any Las Vegas coupons that I can find.

Needless to say, I have been very resourceful over the last year in terms of making it out every weekend.  Sure, sometimes I eat a lot of spaghetti (it is cheap), but it lets me have the money I need to go out when I want.

I am planning to go on a trip later on this year for a couple of weeks, so I have been saving my money.  The thing is, I will need more than an average person as I will need to cover my bills and rent while I am gone.  So, I am pretty much willing to do anything just so that I can go on the trip.

Being the resourceful young man that I am, I have decided to start my own deck cleaning company.  Now, you might think that is would be tough, but so far it has been pretty easy.  Basically, what I do is use pressure washing to get off the grime and old stain off of the deck.

Depending on the deck, it can usually a half hour or more to get the job done.  But the best part about it, is all I needed was a pressure washer that conveniently fits in the trunk of my car.

So far I have had a couple of clients and the response has been very positive.  As summer continues to approach, I think I should be quite busy - which is just fine by me.

I have been saddened lately by the condition of my photographs.  You see, I have some pictures of when I was a child, and I have pictures of when my parents were children.  I take them out from time to time to look at them and reminisce.

But, when I took them out a couple of days ago, some of the older pictures are starting to yellow.  Right there, in that moment I was saddened that the pictures were not going to last as long as I had hoped.  I knew I needed to do something sooner as opposed to later, as each day was taking its’ tool on the photographs.

I rushed down to the local photo store to see if they had any suggestions for me.  What I was told over the course of the next ten minutes is that I should put my photos onto canvas.

Isn’t that what artists paint on?

You bet.  But the compelling reason was that your photograph would last nearly forever and wouldn’t degrade in the same fashion as photo paper.

That was enough for me.  I have a batch there at the moment, and I am interested to see the final result.  But, if it does what they say it will do, this will definitely be the best decision I have made in a long time.

Most of the time I plan things at the last minute.  If you want to get a good idea of how I plan for things, I am usually out Christmas shopping on December 24th for my first trip.

Some things need to change when you get married though.  You do have to remember to get gifts and remember important dates like birthdays and anniversaries.  Trust me, I learned my lesson when I forgot our first one!

So, this year, I thought that I would plan ahead and arrange something early.  I figured I wouldn’t forget if I remembered early (in theory).  This year I have a good idea of what to get her: tickets to The Sound of Music.

She has wanted to see that musical in real life for as longs as I have known her, but it has never come to town.  But it is in the fall, which would be close enough to our anniversary that we could make it a date.  I bet she will be very happy when she sees what I got her - and especially the fact that I didn’t forget.
