When I was five, my father beat the hell out of my mother, and left, as I watched. I never saw him again, he died overseas when I was seven. So my mother moved five of us, 2 older sisters and two younger bothers and myself, to Livermore California to use her top secret clearance from Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico (white sands) to become a draftsman for Lawrence Livermore Laboratories, to support 5 children as a single mom.
Since I had never been to school at six years old, I was enrolled in the first grade. A little behind, they put me back into kindergarten. There, for 60 days, I was put into the Sylvan learning program, and aloud to study at my own speed. They wanted me to complete 1-2 learning modules per day. I completed 6-7 modules per day, then, already reading and doing math at the third grade level, was accelerated and put into the second grade. For the balance of my education, I was always in talented and gifted programs, and got very high marks. We moved a great deal.
My mother died of cancer in Berkeley California when I was 11, leaving five orphans. We were split up, lived in foster homes and group homes, and I became an emancipated minor at 17.
My life was hard, but I always knew what I was capable of, and that normal rules did not necessarily apply to me, making it possible for me to achieve many amazing things in my lifetime, in spite of my humble beginnings.
My father was an Entrepreneur, founded the first FM radio station in Cloud Croft NM in a converted chicken coop – Maxwell Rothman – an electrical engineer who worked with Kernel Stapp on the first “rocket chairs” at the White Sands ( not really, was nuclear bomb research).
My Mother, Sima Small Rothman, grew up in the Bronx, Jewish, spoke Yiddish, an artist.
When I think back on my life, I realize that much of my belief structure comes from this background.
Much of what we believe is taught
I have been a lifelong Entrepreneur, and have owned many business, made and lost and made back millions of dollars.
It all started with what I was taught to believe. My mother always told me that because I was a Rothman, and because it was America, and because I was Jewish, that I was stronger, more brave, and smarter than others, and that God would always have my back.
Like all young people, I needed to verify these things for myself, and I challenged everything in my youth. I studied and searched for answers, and ended up confirming everything that I had been taught.

Circumstances happen. We do not choose our own name, our genetics, our nationality, our physical attributes, or our religion, in our beginning. We have no power over where and when we are born, nor who our parents are.
However, from that point on, the lives that we live, are our own. Everything that we think, feel, and do is a creation; a manifestation, you might say, of our own free will.
Regardless of what circumstances you find yourself in at the moment, you have power way beyond what you are aware of to affect change, if you decide to do so; and no matter who or what you are, somebody who started with much less has accomplished more, with less hesitation, and in less time.
Success in anything, in life itself, is driven, is accomplished, is doable with awareness and realization of these truths, which we all recognize, because they are written into our DNA, because we are humans.
As for myself, I will now write this book, because I can, and I will.

Everyone is going into debt to get an outdated education?
Why? Everything that you need to know is available, right here. The information that you will receive in College, for the most part, when it comes to marketing, was outdated before your lackluster, mediocre professor received his credential, before he taught his first class. I am here to tell you that the cheese has moved.
Everything you need to know is available online, for free. The only BBA, MBA, or anything else that you need is this one:
Begin, Believe, Achieve
This is the last guide I will publish about how to do this:

Whatever market you choose, if you do not understand it, why did you choose it?
The market that you choose to go after, defines you, not the market; the market, if there is one, is just the market.
The reason to choose a market, is because you already know and understand that market, and know how to profit from it.
Understanding-Driven Marketing is simply selling to a market that you understand. You may understand it because you have shopped it, bought from it, worked in it, or inherited it. But whatever the base of such knowledge, the more you understand it:
The potential and/or existing customers
The costs involved with delivering the product to market
The value statement for the product itself
The step-by step actions that need to happen to acquire the market
..the more you understand these factors, the more successful will be your effort, your business, your cause, your passion, your movement or whatever the case may be, based on why you chose the market to begin with.
In 2016, we have many automated ways in which to fill in these blanks in your knowledge base, and adjust accordingly. We also have many automated ways to actually execute the business plan once it is defined, in many cases, completely without bricks and mortar, paper, or even paid advertising, using social media.
This is why I call it “Understanding-driven Marketing“, because many business and/or causes these days require little else than these understandings to launch.
For instance:
You would assume that being in the gun business would require a location, inventory, personnel, advertising, licences, expertise, certifications, and capital necessary to fund all these things. If you were successful in assembling all these things, you would still need to be an expert on the market, but let us attack this a different way, with the
“Understanding-Driven Marketing” approach…
Lets suppose that:
Your reason for going into business is simply to make money from home, without doing any of these things
You understand that the gun market is a good and hot market at the moment
You understand that bricks and mortar gun brokers already exist, and that they pay for advertising to get business to their stores
You understand that with social media, you can reach any audience, almost for free with real content.
Well then, enter https://www.cheaperthandirt.com/, all they have is a website, and they sell more guns than anybody. And if they were my client, I would be promoting them, right now, and doubling their business right now by writing this article and circulation it to the 22M people who read my stuff, about how to do social media marketing.
You see, my business is working from home teaching about what I do and how I do it, essentially just being myself, for money. What I am doing here, is Understanding-Driven Marketing defined, I just invented the term, so that by the time that you read this, this article will already rank on Google page one for this term. You are my target market, I understand you, and I just reached you!
Now I just sell insurance. It is a cleaner, more regulated, more fair marketplace.
For the last couple of years, I have been researching the insurance industry, and I have learned a great deal.
It took one day to contract with Ethos, one week to contract with Next Insurance!
I have owned 26 businesses, this is my 27th: I am monetizing my huge online presence by selling insurance, and recruiting agents; you can do it too!

Dominating a competitive market like whitewater rafting and fishing in Idaho 83549 area, or anywhere else, is not that hard: it is not just one thing, you need to get everything right, and nobody else is going to do that.

Whether you are like me, and have only a small check monthly and a side business, or even if you have some assets, but want to live well in a beautiful climate and surroundings, and enjoy the rest of your life; you will need to find a place where renting or buying is inexpensive, and there is a good mix of people to hang out with.
I have traveled these United States from one end to the other looking for a place to land that would satisfy my requirements. I am healthy, and I have a very limited income that I can count on. Here are three amazing places in the northwest where living is inexpensive, the climate is wonderful, and surroundings are perfect:
