Last night, we concluded the last official meeting of The Investors Roundtable of Columbus GA. It had a respectable run since March 2007. Our small group (which had gone through some membership changes) made it to the end. I would say that the success rate will be high. 2 students already closed on their first …

Back to Columbus GA from Colorado Springs – Oct 2007
Wow, what a whirlwind two-week stay in Colorado Springs. In some ways, it went by so quickly. In other ways, it seemed longer where I felt I “lived a lot of life” during those two weeks. I had time to re-evaluate things, get a different perspective, and stretch myself personally by spending an extended time …

CobraCollectionScam.com has been Retired
In moving forward, I have “retired” the scam-busting website, CobraCollectionScam.com. While the site has been “retired”, it will not be deactivated or shutdown. “Retired” simply means no effort, attention, energy, or thought will go into that website and the situation it reported on. There is lot of negativity related to that site that is no longer relevent or …

The Investors Roundtable Ends in October 2007
After a nice respectable run which officially began in March 2007, the current incarnation of “The Investors Roundtable” will come to a conclusion in October 2007. “The Investors Roundtable” will go dormant for the rest of 2007 and very likely into mid-2008. I may hold informal private meetings that will not be open to the public. …

My WRBL News 3 Appearance on the Cobra Collections Story
 It appears persistence and momentum does pay off. WRBL News 3 finally paid attention to the Cobra Collection scam story on June 14, 2007. However, they called it the “Cobra Collection Controversy“. Boy, is that an understatement. I liked WTVM’s title much better because it was more bold but also accurate.  In their broadcasts, they titled it …

CobraCollectionScam.com Takes Ascend Beyond Publishing into the Unknown
When I first became a publisher and author years ago, my thoughts centered around producing books, manuals, and audio programs. As the publisher of Ascend Beyond Publishing, I would focus on real estate investing and entrepreneurship. For years, nearly no one new about my publishing endeavors as I did not feel they were relevant nor of …
