Don't give up!

To all you goal driven dreamers, innovators, inventors and entrepreneurs who feel and know that they were meant to leave their mark in this world.

Don't give up! I hear in the media and on the streets that the American dream is dead or at the very least unreachable. To this growing belief I say HORSE APPLES!!

My name is Brian and since I was 17 in 83 I have tried to obtain my American dream, a simple log home in Yaak valley Montana. I have invented games, written children's books and even created sixteen characters for a television show but have been taken advantage of or had been ripped off at every turn. Not to mention the financial strain at each endeavor.

I even tried to help our government at no charge and sent copies of a plan I created to solve our immigration and border crisis. It is titled A.I.M.A American immigration management agency. A modern approach to an outdated system.

My candle is burning short but I still won't quit trying to achieve my goal. I know it hurts to fail. I have felt ashamed because of failure after failure and have even broke down and cried. But I can't quit!

You can't quit! No matter what it takes, Don't give up!

 You will face many obstacles, but know and believe they can be overcome.

We will overcome my friends. We will succeed.

Brian.
