I’ve written about two illuminaries in the last email.

People that have inspired me.

But one of these people – well, I omitted to mention him in the last email, but I should have – is probably MORE instrumental overall in terms of who I am today, and who I will ALWAYS be all my life.

That being a person who is not a public figure most likely now. I havent spoken to the “General” in a while!

But he COULD eat a Second Lieutenant or two for lunch, hehe.

Brings a smile to my face everytime I think of him, and those heady days of Dongguan Expat!

But anyway, that site was his idea. His brainchild, at a time where he was a) making TONS Of moolah (not from this site) and b) when there was nothing really like it in that town

(That town was mostly “rice paddies” back then).

True, I owned the site later.

True, as he said “it was his, but I contributed the most”, and for a site like that, it MATTERS.

Not to mention tech help etc when I could.

And lots of bashing either way, lol.

But the point is, the dude’s LIFESTYLE was really what inspired me.

He was 40 and I was 24.

He was living the dream (at that point, anyway).

Yours truly was making GOOD money – but at a JOB.

Uncle Bob was making 3x money – but at a job.

And the “Major General” was making 4x – while working ONE Day a month.

Not daily.

He didn’t even send emails most likely daily.

He created his stuff daily, probably, sure. He worked at it. But really speaking, his job when it came right down to it was to show up at a factory for one day a month, and make BIG bucks that day – and then goof off the rest o fthe month (or do what he liked).

And THAT was what I wanted to do!

Yours truly was making good money for his age, and given he had very little actual experience at that time. Dont get me wrong. They paid me well!

Expat position and so forth (not as cushy as Bob’s, but it was close).

But, we had to go into to office.

And Bob often remarked snarkily about the General “well, some of us have to work real jobs”.

That was the one thing that left me tongue tied.

Yes, me! Whose always got a response for ALL.

Because I admired that in Michael, and still do.

It’s probably why my English name in China is Michael.

That, and they called me “Lahoo” …. so I had enough of that after a while, hehe.

But I still have a Chinese name based upon my real name (my work permit etc had it too. LOL. So much for the Bozo’s self projecting rants about “cuckolds working illegally” – that was what the Bozo himself did and does every time he shows up in the PRC (but I think they red stamped him now, so he can’t)).

But anyway, THAT is the lifestyle yours truly wanted.

Crack open a beer at 11 AM if you so choose, and definitely at 4. LOL.

Financial freedom!

And truth be told, I could have gotten started on my own journey a LOT before I did – but I didn’t know how!

All’s well that ends well. My “story” thus far most closely mirrors Napoleon Hill’s to a T, so I get that.

But I still remember the General telling me during those days (and it irritated me, because I didtn know how)

(I thought he was giving me the run around. He wasn’t!)

“Your time will come, Rahul. Maybe sooner than mine!”

In Hill like ways he often told me that “the secret is something he couldn’t reveal, because if he did so, it would STRIP me of much of the benefit I would get by discovering it myself!”

Most would say “he’s not telling me”.

No.

Wrong.

He said it better than most could. I just didn’t know it.

And shout out to the General aside, HAVE I achieved all Iwant to?

Not by a long damned shot my friend.

Fitness wise, several goals.

Life wise, several goals too (all keeping in accordance with the CAVEMAN way of life, hehe).

And many other things I’ll reveal, or maybe not in future emails (Tell the world what you’re going to do, but SHOW it first!)

But at the age of 40 and … I believe a couple of weeks more, I don’t know why, but I felt compelled to write this, and give the General a clap on the shoulder.

He deserves it!

And on that note, I’m out. Back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
