It does catch up with me occasionally, but I guess that’s part of the risk to be open to people.

I’ve been called naive and too innocent at times. I have been misled more often than I care to imagine, but all in all, I think I come out ahead of the game in the end.

I have met people from all over the world. I have engaged in conversations that if I had approached them more cautiously, I would never had pursued.

Last week I met up with Rey Banzon, the architect for my school for kids at risk. We had a great lunch in Lafayette and he told me he has asked a friend of his from the Philippians to provide the financing to build the school.

Imagine having someone believe in my dream so much that he would present me to his trusted financial resources. I feel so honored. The investor is 85 years old and is coming to the U.S. to visit several sites and people he is looking at investing in.

If he invests in www.UltimateBusinessUniv.com he will also invest in building a replica in the Philippines as well.

Keep your fingers crossed for me!

It turns out he is the ambassador to Belize based in Dallas. He’s been helpful in guiding me towards the right people who can help me with the connections I need in Belize to make the school happen.

He asked me how it was going and when I told him about the challenges I’ve been having finding the right property, he had his nephew scout out some properties based on what we had talked about.

He actually found a new property that is about 20 minutes from the airport, which is one of my criteria. It has a river running through the property which is also important for the plans to be self-sustaining. It is 300 acres and already has two homes on the property and a generator.

That will make it a lot easier since it already has all the utilities on the property. It is important to have the ability to create a school that is totally green and have the benefit of land that is cultivated.

It also includes about 100 head of cattle, 95 head of sheep and 30 ducks. There are also mature fruit trees and some farm equipment and a fresh water well.
