My Calling In Life

2007-05-10 10:05

Ever since I was young, I have been a thinker and a dreamer.  My thoughts are long and my dreams are BIG.  I often felt that I had a calling in this life.  I just couldn't figure out what it was.  All I knew was that it would be something of great scope and somehow help out the less fortunate.  Being such an entrepreneur, this desire to help others was not going to be in any form of donations but rather an organization that would help others help themselves, to create an everlasting impact. 

Recently, I have come to realize what that calling was:  buiBase!  An organization that would enable people to help me help others.  The initial concept of buiBase was mainly because I saw the potential in my brother, Tai, to do something great with his knowledge and giving personality.  It started out as a hobbie and soon evolved into this momentous business model.  I plan to create a network of people that feed upon one another.  buiBase would help over 30,000 self-employed people while helping millions more.

Could this be another pipe dream of mine?  Stick around and find out.

My First Blog

2007-04-14 08:04

Welcome to my world.  I decided to start a blog since eveyone was doing it.  Don't really know what to expect out of this except being able to openly express myself.

Let me tell you a little about myself.  I am an entrepreneur and business owner.  I consider myself to be pretty analytical.  Well, I should say, all analytical; that's what gets me in trouble.  Sometimes I miss the most fundamental things in life and make things more difficult than it has to be because of how I think.  My business partner's favorite saying for me is, "Dan is so smart he is stupid".  It seems to me that the most simple things I cannot comprehend yet the common things that people struggle with is second-nature to me.  I still have not figured out how my mind works yet.  Being as analytical as I am, I am very slow when it comes to calculating math.  Go figure.  It is as though my mind only picks up the fundamentals and skips the rest, thinking that I can always derive at everything.  There you have it, that's me.  Morbid, I know.

I own a medical supply company, Medox, Inc. for which I am very proud of.  My partners are Cindy Lindsey (my sister) and David Rooney.  I have always wanted to give back to the community for what the U.S. has given me.  So to be able to help the sick and the elderly gives me a sense of self-worth.  Together, we struggled for 10 years doing everything and anything to serve our patients.  It was more about the patients than the business, thanks to Cindy, that created our niche.  Cindy and I had a fundamental disagreement:  She believed that providing good quality service will bring business.  I wanted to go after business to afford the quality care we want.  David was right in the middle and a lot of times in the middle of our fights as well.  Anyway, those days are behind us now.  The company is doing well.  We have quality service and good business together.  Unfortunately, my sister Cindy found out over a year ago she has cancer.  She is currently fighting for her life and I pray everyday for God's miracle.  Her being sick has put a lot of things in perspective for me.  I am able to see things that I might never been able.  Please pray for Cindy with me.

Another project of mine, buiBase.com.  This site you are reading is made possible because of buiBase.  In the clear beginning, I saw how Tai, my brother, was so giving in offering his help to anyone.  He was just that kind of person helping anyone and everyone if he could.  But I keyed in on his expertise in the internet and computer related stuff.  Two or even three years ago, I told myself that one day I would go into business with him.  The business would relate to his background.  The market is so huge that if I put my business skills together with his technical skills, we can surely succeed.  Well, last year or so we put it in motion.  Hence, buiBase was born!  There is a lot to buiBase and I won’t bore readers with it now.  Stay tuned and I will post more about it later.
