The village idiot of Las Vegas and his friend Mr. Albuquerque..

Long before I was the village idiot of Las Vegas, I sharpened my craft in the town of Albuquerque, New Mexico..Albuquerque is a great town, with a lot of nice people living their. Lots of fun things to do in the town of 700,000. The best way to describe Albuquerque? "It's not to big, and it's not to small." What brought me to Albuquerque? After I graduated college, I wanted to try something new. I had lived in Kansas my whole life, and decided it was time for a change. My mother and sister lived there as well, so I decided why not?

When I first moved to Albuquerque, If memory serves me right it was the summer of 95? Well, I didn't really know anyone, and I had to find a job, so I ended up working at a bank. I was a teller at my fathers banks for a number of years. So I figured why not, maybe I will meet someone and they can lead me to a better opportunity. After all, it's all about connections, and at that time? I had none in Albuquerque. The bank job ended up being a blessing in disguise, Why? That's where I met one of my best friends.

Junior Grierson has spent his entire life in the Albuquerque, his wife is from there. He has seven brothers and sisters, who all live in Albuquerque. OK everyone gets the picture, Junior is Mr. Albuquerque. Now, what makes him really deserving of the title? Junior is the best salesman that I have ever known. For a number of years, he operated a family owned business, that was quite successful. Well, the recession changed things, and now he's opened a small store that specializes in selling SW style beef jerky. I called Junior the other day, and told him about a friend of mine in Kansas who was showing interest in investing.

"Junior, remember that guy in Kansas I was telling you about. Andy Heck. I can tell that he is getting more and more interested in organic growth strategies. I think he will invest, if I can convince him that their is money to be made." I've been in Juniors ear for quite a while about some of my ideas, and he has been very receptive to them. The problem that both him and I share? Lack of investment..

This part of the blog is specific to my friends Andy and Brea Heck. When we talked last, I told you things would be fairly simple to start, and I'm getting that you understand? Picture this. When things go good in Las Vegas, scaling the services will be the next step. One of the best ways to do that? Open a portal for Albuquerque, and have Junior utilize all his connections in the area..

I like to end every post of mine with a thought..Call it the village idiot thought of the day.."It's important that Andy and Brea understand what I'm talking about when I say I want to make sure things are scalable..If you mix a web base model with the right connections? The results should make it much easier to get bigger. Think of it as a homie in every neighborhood approach."
