I met with Joy last Friday. I messed up in my time coordinating and ended up going to Universal Pasta on Chestnut instead of Pasta Pomodoro on Union street.  But we did get our meeting started.  I think blogging my career, personal life is very helpful.  Since I last posted, I've picked up a few more tutoring accounts. So now, it looks like I'll have tutoring work on Sun, Mon, Wed, Th, Fri for the time being (5 days or about 14 hours/week). That should tie me over for the mean time, just to pay bills.

One of the big concerns I have is getting a loan adjustment on Telegraph. I really need to fix this rate so that this unit can recover the decreased market value. I spoke with cousin Nancy last week. She said that her mom stopped paying the mortgage as soon as they filed the loan modification application. Basically, that means they took a huge hit on credit by missing two payments. But in the long run, her mom's credit will recover and they can casually pay back the loan on a modified rate of 2% for 40 years.

As for my website businesses, I've come to certain conclusions. I think I need to start the websites with an outsourced firm from India or China. It's easier to stay in full control, not have to share authority, manage my schedule, and focus on sales/marketing. I just need to find an extremely cheap outsource company that I can trust to make a solid product for me.  I can pay as I want and just scale the business as it gets bigger/busier.

Let's get this going!
