When I was growing up, throughout school, and sports, it seemed I was always the young guy tagging along with the older kids. Whether my older brother and his friends, or just me getting along with older kids I met, it just seemed to work well for me. My first jobs were no different. Often I'd be in positions of authority and esteem with older people answering to me and looking to me for leadership. I think maybe God was letting my ego grow and swell because he had it in his mind that he'd level me, just so he could build my character. Toward the year 2008 and 2009, level me, is exactly what God did. For too long I had relied on my wits to work "smart" and not "hard," and boy did I pay the price. I lost 2 homes, and my earning capability just shrank right along with the economy. After trying several last ditch (but prideful) efforts to double down, I delayed the inevitable by digging bigger financial holes. Then it finally became a reality that I was going to get to work and bring in money.One of my brothers-in-law asked if I'd like to learn the business and come work with him and his partner at the bail bonds office. The pay was more than fair considering my inexperience. I found I had a knack for bail bonds, writing bail, troubleshooting, and working with customers. I learned the biz well there and wrote bail for about 2 years before taking a hiatus.(end part 1 of 2)
