Recently, my sister told me about a “three-day diet” which guaranteed I’d lose 10 pounds in 3 days or 40 pounds in a month. She said I just had to follow it three of every seven days, and eat normally the rest of the time. I figured, hey, it’s only three days and the food it allows sounded okay, so I’d give it a shot. I lost 3.5 pounds in the three days and was down 6.6 pounds for the week.

This might sound impressive, except that I normally have a weight swing of four to six pounds per week anyway. No, the real benefit for me was re-learning meal planning, portion control, and the power of consciously choosing everything I eat. I call this eating by design. I figure I can have or do anything in life I want but without health, I won’t enjoy much of it.

Item: San Francisco Chronicle business columnist Kathleen Pender noted on July 1^st that investors were turning to both gold and bonds, a confluence she’d never seen before.

Item: Interest rates are at historic lows, but according to my colleagues in that segment, there has not been a corresponding increase in mortgage inquiries. For my entire career in mortgage lending, when interest rates went down, the phones would ring like crazy.

Item: The stock market fell below 10,000 again, amid worries that the recession is going to be shaped like a W rather than a V. Unemployment remains high, so consumers are hanging onto their money.

I’m no more prescient than other investors. I see conflicting issues everywhere as well. On the one hand. . .

I can honestly say I have never been more gratified or personally satisfied than I am now with what I’m doing now at DBNR. It’s as though all I’ve done before was training for the work I’m doing today as a contributor to those trying to enter the housing market today. Even so, with the right amount of next-round funding, I expect to be doing even better - perhaps as much as a tenfold improvement in business at a time when a large segment of the population needs our help the most.

I am profoundly grateful for those brave and trusting individuals who have provided the seed capital I’ve used to prove that this model and strategy work. I’m also grateful to those who helped me develop the contacts and skills necessary to move to a much higher level of performance and profitability as we expand.

If you are one of those who likes and supports what I do, or has personally benefitted from advice I’ve given, and you have risk capital available, give me a call.

At the same time, as we expand, we are looking for enthusiastic people with skills in sales, internet marketing, project and business management, and executive assistance (where the real power is). If you have any of these related skills and you’d like to get involved with what we’re doing, call or e-mail me (408-268-9777; dan@dbnr-investments.com) for an introductory discussion about the opportunities DBNR could provide for you.
