You give the vibe (not the reality) of a man with a franchise idea in progress, not yet patented nor trademarked, not quite ready-for-prime-time but nearly, who needs to protect future trade secrets in order to release a set of training CDs in production, a vacation training resort or some similar enterprise that will be worth millions when the time comes.
I don’t believe this to be the reality but I’ve met many who had a similar vibe with a money making program just waiting-in-the-wings in progress.
The way you retract when you do and withdraw – that’s when the vibe comes out. In any event, it’s none of my business and I wouldn’t want to know in any event either way. But it’s definitely the vibe.
