Don's Story

Wow... what do I say on the first line... I guess we'll just get a quick update. I'm no longer have to work now. I found a system that has made me financially free. I'm partnered up with Donald Trump through my own business, Teledon and I deal with the latest communications systems. This is for both domestic and international communications. In fact, the company is being presented in 2009 on Prime Time NBC with Donald Trump. Hope you watch it and hten pop into my website to see what else I have to offer. teledon[dot]acnrep[dot]com or call me. The number is on the home page. You can find me at the Grand Sierra Resort now and days teaching others how to be financially free. I also teach how to do this at the University of Nevada, Reno in the Ansari Building's WELLS FARGO Room on the first floor. 9am - 12noon. I hope to see you there. Outside of teaching people, I am working on customizing my cars and hope to one day have them presented on the cover of a magazine. I wouldn't mind working on yours too. Just contact me! If you would like to learn how to do custom work, I don't mind doing that either. I'm teaching my closest of friends to do it and I would like to be friends with you too. I guess that will be all for now. I'll see you on the other side. For those who want to know more and see more about my past and possible future, keep reading. (Thank you story wizard) I always wanted to be a successful person when I grew up. My family and most of my friends supported me, but I know (now) that they were thinking, "This guy has NO idea." During that time, they were right, but one thing I tried to always do was let my mind become a parachute (They only work when open). And seize opportunity when it happens to be there. If no APPARENT opportunity was there, then I have learned to make it one. Then I discovered that the "traditional" way of thinking was wrong. As I met more and more people, especially my mentors and current girlfriend, I learned that I spent most of my life as a child in my head and let it consume me. With their help I grew up a lot but never forgot how it feels inside to truly believe in myself and to follow the three L's in life: Learn from the past; Look to the future; Live for today. And with the help of my friends and family, I know I have a future I can look at the future with a smile and security. Hmmm... My temper has stifled down a ton since my younger days. My fuse does burn down once and a while, but it isn't anywhere near where it used to be. Some people have stated taht I could blow off some steam now and again and that I tend to be too calm about things, but well that's not me. I'm an evolution and I will continue to evolve because I know that c...Expand for more
hange is nature. But for those times I need to relax, I anjoy many activities based mostly on seasons. The activities that I do throughout the year is drawing up ideas and concepts and hang out with friends. My most relaxing times though are spending times with my closest people and wouldn't matter what we did, just that we were together. My heros are the people I hang around the most with. Everyone has their own unique story, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Using them as inspiration, I know I can do just about anything now. What I have learned to do is to just sort out with the people I hang out with. If I hang out with positive people, then my way of thinking is positive. If I hang out with people who are negative, then I will be negative. I believe the phrase is "Misery loves company." Well I don't want to be miserable. The way I see it, if you are going to complain about something, you darn well better have a solution to the problem and the will to enact it. I spent most of my life in Reno, but now and days I am a frequent traveller. Texas, Philippines, Japan, Detriot, California and hmmm... I know I have been other places, but I can't recall all the trips in the past couple of years. I do plan on being in Mexico for a while to help expand the company to country number 20 and help others become free from a job. However, I intend on settling down most likely in California in a custom home I'm designing right now. With so many people in my past, it's hard to decide who I most want to meet again. I would want to see my grandfather again. He just passed away this year and he's always been an inspiration. His story is long, but in summary, for all the hell he has gone through (such as the Death March) and he lost one arm and a severly deformed hand, he never really hated anyone. His heart is the one I hope to one day achieve. He was and still is a pillar of power that I dream of and I hope that one day, I would know for a fact that he is truly proud of me with no complaints. I'm obcessed with mobile entertainment. I am not particularly knowledgeable about specific cars and/or equipment, but I do understand one concept: STOCK SUCKS! Anything and everything can be made better. In cars and in life. But I think that is why I love to do what I do. It's a chance to change what I think can be made better. A car is supposed to be an expression of a person's persona. I would like to say "I am crazy enough to do just about anything because I CAN!" My biggest surprise in life would be my girlfriend. A friend brought us together in a dinner and we just hit it off right then and there. She has a little girl that is a wonderful little girl. TONS of energy, and a good heart.
