Response To Joesho reguarding The BP4L "Family"

When your club opens let me know.. You are good in my book..

But your thread you started about the "family" is kind of disturbing to me.. The reference that you discount or discredit me becaue we dont match up to your "wiseguy" vision where "we dont even look like wiseguys or a "goodfellas" as you say makes no sense to me...

Your comment "even beat their own dog , let alone anyone else" kinda puzzled me.. Not sure what that meant or where it came from.

We've or at least I have never said anything about "beating" people or anything. Not sure where you got this image from? We dont, nor do we calim to "beat people" or nor do we extort, steal or whatever esle you may think.. Also not sure where you got the idea we are gangsters? I never said it or hinted it.

Sure we may have some characteristics of the old school "family" dynamics when it comes to our line of business and how we market or network, but dont get that confused with street gangsters or what ever else perception of street people you may have..

We are professionals.. What we do in geek terms is network.. Thos tight in this Network Ive always called "Family".. Simple as that. The family structure is similar to that of how many Asian business networks may be or how yes even some old school mafia organizations may have been in the past. Its how I grew up in an Asian household, and in the Chineese community of Portland that Ive seen and used this dynamic.. What the public does or doesnt know wont hurt em.. But those in the know recognize.. To give you an idea, two out of the last 7 months I alone have made over 15k off webmaster referals alone.. Thats not the money I, or my sites bring in.. Thats simple referals... No beat downs, no gangster shit, no beating the neighbors dog to show how strong we are... The bottom line speaks for itself.
There is a true network at work. You can ask Topbucks back in 2001 how much I made for them on referals, or many of the big dialer guys in the past. When the network was at its high or "family" as I started ot call it, my contacts and referals alone would bring me in over 30k a month.. Just referals alone..

You can imagine going to the shows back in 2000- 2001, people wanted to get to know this "family" or network of people I knew simply from reputation alone.. We had fun with it yes.. Ran with it.. The whole family thing was catchy. But VERY VERY REAL.

The repution was created by action. Not words..

Dont get this family or network put in your head that we are playing gangster becasue we are not. Not sure where you got that. This is a business not some extortion ring where we have to be a "wise guy" as you say, and have to be able to prove our selves by being tough enough to beat down people and thier dogs as you say..
