I was going to send an email but started feeling weird and decided not to. I also don't want to get into a relationship where his people feel like they need to waste my time with shit work because they paid me. I like hanging out and helping Sultan but don't particularly enjoy being treated like a consultant by his team. On the other hand, if I had some influence and was able to set up my own free zone or could tell people on his team what to do, that would be more interesting. ;-) Anyway, I think I can help him so some sort of advisory agreement makes sense I think. Also, not a big deal and NOT something that I'm asking him to pay for, but I probably have spent more money entertaining him than he has spent entertaining me. I pay to stay at his hotel in Dubai but also paid for everything for him in Tokyo. But I'm interested in the long term and don't want to sound petty. I'll leave it up to you though since you know him better. As for the book... I bought it. Skimmed it, didn't see anything "new". A few people pinged me about it, but I don't see much noise about it. What kind of feedback have you gotten about it? Any way I can help? - Joi > On Oct 26, 2016, at 5:02 AM, Jeffrey E. <jeevacation®gmail.com> wrote: > Can I bring up the money issue with sultan .. easy for me . Any feedback on my book :) .
