Last night went well as I was glad to work to get my mind off things. They have made few improvements and hope they are doing the marketing next week and when I get back its different, but really don't care, will work tonight and then its like I dont have a job and when I get back I can make decisions.
So its like 5 AM and I wake up and see I have like 5 messages, which is becoming common as the the people Im dealing with are either degening 24/7, at the tables at all hours or maybe even getting off a shift from some strip club (I have no idea what some of these girls do for money as modeling is not a huge $ generator unless they are big time).
It's funny seeing the names as I put their poker names and 420 Nurses name as the contact. They for sure choose stripper names so lots of names ending with Rain or some sort of season. How the **** do you go back to sleep after waking up to that? The poker names are not small to add on to the chicas.
Getting messages from WD is the best as he is very engaging to talk with and brings great insight with very little effort. I can't wait to get together with him and go over the plans, instant improvement and growth will happen.
When I started my first company I set many rules that I would never break. One was that I would visit every place that was in my future publication. The book I produced was over 300 pages long and every description, location, business, activity, and more would be from my own eyes. I would give each entry 100% focus and respect to get it right, and not practice sloppy journalism and weak business that most do.
I wanted to do the same for this project when meeting people, but its just to complicated and I had to bend the rule with WD. I first started to talk with him about 7 months ago after he was trolled by some complete ahole and I ended putting a prop bet on his thread to the troll (if anyone is interested I can copy and paste the prop bet over here).
The troll disappeared but a poster who appeared to be legitimate challenged me on the bet. We had many exchanges and he could not meet the terms of my original wager. I was at such a disadvantage at what I proposed there was no way I could change my original terms as I have no doubt I would have lost because I was sort of a mess at that time after failing on my third funded business attempt.
WD and I exchanged PMs over the prop bet because I told him that I wanted to give it a shot if the other guy accepted for a few reasons, one being I believed WD had incredible value with his story as a series of books. I felt and still feel that he could go the route of a Tucker Max (but WD is a better writer and his content is more explosive, and has the ability to get better with proper degen funding and exposure). Most people don't know that Tucker Max is a marketing genius and they just see he ****ty side. He was a total unknown for many years after his first publication and used his blog to build a massive following.
Regardless of my assessment that WD has great $ and creative value with books, to capitalize on it properly is an incredible amount of work. I have published three books (one was a second edition but had to gut the whole first one down and rebuild, and was just as hard). I can tell you it is a route that you do not want to go down unless you're extremely serious and have marketing connections/skills because making real cash with a book is almost impossible even with incredible content and a following. It takes a massive effort and it could take 1 - 3 years to write, publish and see any rewards for the immense effort that was put in and the chance for failure is still quite high.
Therefore at this time I'm not going the angle of publishing the chronicles of Warm Deck. That would be down the road when other things are established and the process would be so much easier for creation and the all so important marketing.
I also am not creating a degen project at all. Its just one part of it and its not the main attraction. Future members announced will be from a much different spectrum and will probably cause more confusion as what Im doing could take quite awhile to see the light.
As much confidence I have with what I own, I still have many obstacles. My rule of meeting people in person may have to get bent some more, but will use immense caution when going this route.
Happy to say in the next 10 days I have meet-ups with 3 models, at least 3 poker players of extremely high interest and a trip to NOLA and Denver. Also heard from the model about the pics and they should be coming, she is waiting to get them from the 420 Nurse headquarters outside of LA.
Also one more piece of great news...
My request to visit the 420 Nurses HQ has been granted.
I won't be able to go until mid-March to early-April, but it appears to be a green-light and I'm going to the hot stoner chick mothership of the world.
