I double reasonable amounts of money fast, and smaller amounts of money extremely fast.

People generally hate me, and I generally despise people. This is my biggest flaw, but it saves a lot of time, so it's not all bad.

I have many other, irrelevant for the purpose of making significant money these days, technical skills, including Precious and Base Metal mining and refining, oil rig management experience, banking, and others.

At the bottom of my heart, I'm an optimizer: I see someone doing something, and very quickly can find many ways to improve it, optimize it, making it more profitable.

The beauty of the Internet is that one can always contract cheap foreign labor for a fraction of the cost, making realization of most ideas affordable to anyone who is willing to put a few bucks on the line.

Right on. Commoditization of labor skills is a new reality. It's increasingly easier and cheaper to hire workers at any skill level. Salesmen and entrepreneurs are living a dream: Theirs are the only essential jobs. Everything else can be outsourced.

We're obviously developing a super group that can take over the world.

I have a lot of skills related to writing, research, and obviously government relations. If there is a union problem, I'm pretty sure I could handle it.

I have skills in project management, system/process design, and program specification (I can do most software design short of coding).

I just left a long time job as a system/business analyst and department manager to take care of an illness in my family. In this time off I'm learning poker and trying to create some sort of foundation to make entrepreneurship my next "job".

I like the idea of this thread. My problem with becoming an entrepreneur is the substance of the business. I have all the skills to make a business happen & succeed (I have a good track record as a #2 type guy in a few small tech-related companies) but I don't have that "thing I love" to turn into a business... yet, anyway.

-Ray

I'm good at spotting d*ckwaving threads. And making smart-ass comments about them.
