Yesterday night I have been to the monthly meeting of my mastermind organization, The Wealth Building Annex in Tampa. Chris Krimitsos, the founder of TWBA always manages to bring in some very interesting speaker, and this time the stage was taken by Aaron Fodiman the successful publisher of Tampa Bay Magazine and a very interesting person overall. His extensive background has seen him working at the White House in the staff of several presidents of the United States, then he has been the president of a major restaurant franchise, he owned and managed a chain of restaurants himself and eventually devoted himself to publishing.

The personal story of this gentleman is amazing since he has been extremely successful at three totally different activities, none of which he has chosen before hand. But he was able to excel by focusing on each one of them when the time came by also applying the first of his 12 success rules which is: “if you chase two rabbits, both will escape”.

The video that I am presenting here shows a short piece of the interview done by Chris with Aaron Fodiman. You will see how the true path to success sometimes presents itself after some trial.
During the one hour speech by Mr. Fodiman I learned many things about the publishing business, to which I belonged for three decades, and my current international real estate business. And the lesson is this: the more you know about the area where you live and operate, the more you can describe its culture, art and way of life, the more chances you have to succeed. I have also learned that Tampa Bay is the 12th metropolitan area in the United States and that it is even bigger than Miami in terms of economical power. The best way for me to attract international buyers in this area will be to team up with people like Mr. Fodiman so to fully represent the emotion and lifestyle that can be experienced here, which will make investing in this area even more attractive.

As always Roberto your writing shines in any language. Very well done.
Respectfully, Chris Krimitsos
nice post but what are the 12 successful rules?
Here they are:
1. If you chase two rabbits, both will escape.
2. Don’t give excuses. Just apologize politely and cheerfully.
3. Don’t eat yellow snow.
4. Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
5. If you do what you’ve always done, you get what you have always gotten.
6. Don’t take a fence down until you know why it was put up in the first place.
7. When you go fishing, bait the hook with what the fish like to eat and not with what you like to eat.
8. Don’t believe you can’t do something, just because others tell you that you can’t.
9. Do or not do – there is no such thing as “try.”
10. It is better to go to bed hungry than to wake up in debt.
11. Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today.
12. Accept the things you cannot change; change the things you can; and pray for the wisdom to know the difference.
