To be honest you can hardly be newer than I am. I know I am 60 but you know what I mean.
I will tell something about my background. First of all what I wanted to be and later what happened. There were two professions I wanted when a was young I wanted to be an architect or a lawyer. When I came out of the army my father pointed at me and said ”my company needs you” and I obeyed as a good soldier. So I joined the company. Importing exporting office products selling and buying all over Europe to the mayor chains and stores. And just as my father said when I came into the company. He was right my brother could not. He was worse than the common drunk and this made an end to a story of 40 years.With the little money left I went to the other side of the country selling stationary again. And later insurance etc. And then my meanwhile ex wife thought it better to be without me. Her boyfriend came to live at the property so I left completely empty-handed. This was last year. So I have been thinking what to do. Moving to Amsterdam where I can sell my skills better – fluent in Dutch, German, French, English and Spanish a bit Italian and meanwhile quite a bit Bulgarian thanks to my fiancé Anna – or stay in the neighbourhood of my children. So I decided to go to Amsterdam (read Anna) as much as half possible and live 8 miles from my 3 boys. Now I have a very little travel agency http://www.merlintravelcompany.com and a consulting company specialising on trade between Bulgaria, and Holland and Germany http://www.merlintopconsulting.nl Hard work and little money. Working on commissions is not a nice thing to do but if you have no money for stock you can forget it. And then by accident I found ACN and this keeps me floating. My experience to sell insurances to the man in the street and to deal with mayor corporations must do the job. It must be standing before we can move to Bulgaria. In fact we wait for Bulgaria and Romania to open up with ACN.
This is it in a nutshell.
