I may be in on the ground floor of a sweet deal
Unfortunately, I can't discuss details, but suffice it to say I've hit it off with one of my clients, and he's offered me an in on something new, and quite likely long term. I was able to help out immediately by recommending a software programmer I know, and between the three of us (if all comes to pass) I could be looking at a major step up over the next year or so.

Wish me luck-- I've never been in this position before, and it's a bit scary, especially since all the pieces aren't in place yet.

It's about damned time something like this happened to me.

2. congratulations!
finally, you were at the dock when the ship came in, instead of at the airport.

there are times when you have to jump at it. this sounds like it.

if it doesn't work, there will hopefully be another chance. you just have to recognize them when they come along, and go for it.

:toast:

3. I'm a small business owner (a one man show)
and I'm comfortable, but perhaps now I'll stop being so damned comfortable and really get out there and do something. Most good people don't even get this much of a chance! I fully realize how lucky (and good) I am. :evilgrin:

That's good for four years in Federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.

6. Congrats!
Sounds great! Always good to see someone getting rewarded. I'd like to think it'll be me sometime.

8. Be damned careful and CYA...
Your post sounds like either a great opportunity or a script for a scam.

9. It's not a scam
It's for real. I've at least checked it out that far.

Damn. I just can't get a break (unless I trip and fall).
