True Financial Security - Pace and Cap

Bill,

I think we all know exactly how you feel.
We have all been there.

I have learned that to be a winner one must act like a winner and do what winners do.

And what do winners do?

All winners keep records of all races handicapped and every nickle of every race invested in.

It must be done just like a business, for that is what it is.

I was for years a professional janitor.
To be a professional janitor I had to act like a professional janitor.
I had to know which supplies were the best, what chemicals to use where and how.
I had to have the know how to clean a one desk office or a 17 floor office building or an entire college campus and the equipment to accomplish the task.
How to bid a jobs and do the follow up to get that a job.
I had to dress the part and to handle customer complaints.
I had to hire, train and fire employees.
None of it was easy.
But I had to make it look easy or I lost my edge with my employees, my customers and myself.

But the most important part was keeping records.
You have to know where you are at all times and where the money is going to or coming from.

In this business I have a desk, computer, printer and the best software there is.
I also have a 3 ring binder that has all my records in it.
I keep it with me when I am working, and yes I consider this work just the same as a job.
I didn't get every cleaning contract I bid on and I don't win every race I invest in.
I know from the start of every day that I am going to lose 30 to 40% of all wagers.
I have lost six out of eight two days in a row and I have won 22 out of 26, 14 of them in a row.
I study those records and mine them for information.
I try to know when the opposition is probably wrong.
For instance at Aqu. everybody believes that front runners win.
In the routes run recently yes thats half true. Med energy around 68.50 would not hurt you.
But the sprints are run mostly around 67.50 med. and the winner usually comes from off the pace.

Everybody gets discouraged.
Look to your records for the confidence and courage you need to do do the task at hand.

Some times a guy just needs to talk,
Bill you can call me at any time if you want to talk 24/7 except the hours when NY is running.
If I don't answer it means I am asleep and if I do answer it means I'm not asleep.
I love you and what you and others here have done for me.

May God Bless You,

Froggy
