"Hi Mark,
Nice article. I like your concept. Making a business in a bite-size and more manegeable scale. How I wish I can arrange one day to go for your seminar. By the way I'm an OFW and currently working here in UAE. Being separated from my pecious family is quite an ordeal as I work here in abroad. I really need to do something to have a reasonable and concrete source of cashflow in the Philippines to end my abroad job.
As I started receiving email from your group, a spark of idea of doing a business in food catering or a small restaurant have been ringing in my mind since then. As I was saying, I'm thingking of ending my career as an OFW. I want do this food business and be with my family. As an OFW, my wife & I managed to save some significant amount of money and we're really want to do the venture the moment my contract here in UAE expires (that's almost 2 years from now).
I know that I need to invest first in acquiring relevant informations how to make this "small business" sustainable and make it progressive as the operations goes on. I do hope that your group can enlighten me further about this endeavor. I'll be having my next annual vacation soon. I really want to have a seat in your 7-Point Formula Course/Seminar."
