Thread: size and strengh do not matter

    With her 9mths-ish of "wing chun knives", she's almost overqualified.

    I just pray she heads to the east coast .

    Sevenstar,

    You underestimate the difficulty in setting up a MA business. To travel around the world and give seminars is very expensive. You actually hope to break even when you add up the expenses from a world tour. When you're away, you need to hire people to run your shop.

    But if BL were to setup shop, I'll be first to sign up for membership. I think you will too.

    I'm very aware of that. We have a bjj black belt that comes to see us for two weeks out of the year. If she's as good as she claims, it can be done.

    Royce comes here twice a year as well. As good as she claims to be, she can achieve such status.

    I will pretend I didn't see your last sentence.

    Sevenstar,

    I agree, I'm not saying it can't be done. In all areas of endeavour, there is a line which separates hobby and profession. I've seen many doctors, dentist, chemist etc.... fail dispite the fact that they are shall we say "exponents" in their field. Why, because there business management skill wasn't there.

    But to risk personal capital in setting up a business is a very brave step indeed. And on that point, size does matter but so does agility in meeting unforeseeable challenges the business may run into. There maybe an optimal size.

    (Just to bring the discussion back on track else you might decide to ban me). You can't have a forum without a troll, albeit a loney troll

    bl ASKED to be banned.

    It definitely takes business sense, but, as she said, she is a certified genius. I would think she either knew how to handle that or knew someone who could assist her.

    actually far as I personally know, she's shedding no tears and found sensible disscussion elsewhere!

    besides, she revoked that comment before the boss - troll caught it anyway....... and now who the heck are you going to fight and scrap with???

    ( looks for cover )

    That last post (and the others posted in other threads at the same time) has a decidedly Eyebrows-feel to it. Wouldn't it be funny if Kelvin had pm'd his idol and allowed her to use his login details to post?

    Sorry Serp, but I am going to have to pull you up for incorrect use of the apostrophe there

    Hey! You can use it to pluralise numbers - surely you can use it to pluralise punctuation too!

    I demand an unbiased mediator!

    Serpant,

    You're nothing but a kid. At least sevenstar has real martial arts skills. You just follow Toby around in the forum because you think he's got more brains than you.

    Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah........

    Yeah, he does sound alot like bl. But that could be because he's such an impressionable little puppy dog.

    My thread gets deleted, but this crap just drags on and on...

    that's because she's new there. She hasn't started acting like an idiot yet.

    Like they say, be careful what you ask for...
