About Nik
If you are expecting the usual bumped up “about” how marvelous I am page, then this page will break the norm.
Hi I’m Nik Rockstrom a successful entrepreneur and investor based on the west coast of California with fingers in many bulging pies. Rather than show you the same old boring photos of posed images of me standing outside a mansion or two with one foot on the fender of a super car, I am going to give you the ammunition to go out there and collect life’s rewards yourself. My life was not always that of milk and honey and my fingers were burnt many times in what seems like the dim and distant past.
Read on for the gory details.
This was typical of my car and the direction life was taking!
Disaster
My somewhat comfortable life took a severe downturn when the company I worked for launched on a disastrous sequence of self induced events. A sudden extreme downsizing of the company and I found myself ejected out of the velvet rut and onto the hard cold road.
Out In The Wilderness
OK I'll go and get a new job. Not as easy as it seemed. The outflow of specialists into the job marketplace soon reached saturation point, and there seemed to be something attached to the poor unfortunates from the collapse. Those full of BS slid into local work using the same methods they had used within the company. The majority moved away from the area to endure an uncomfortable existence. After contemplation of the options available I resolved to go in a completely new direction.
OK plan B start up your self. This was when I met a string of people who were seemingly successful in business and I threw my lot in with them. This involved some traveling and meeting some interesting people to the extent where I spent some time in England and Europe.
The projected mega returns never quite materialized. It was always the case a bit more investment in time and money was required and we would be there. Well they got there!
My savings and meager income from my time starved business eventually dwindled to nothing and my credit cards were too hot to touch. The men with big dogs appeared on the horizon and sleep was a rare commodity.
A Really Bad Place
My head was buzzing with despair and I could not see any way out, whatever kind words of advice were offered. There only seemed to be a dark abyss which I found myself crashing into out of control. It all culminated the day that I drove across town to sell my worn out car for some desperate cash, but found myself on a road out of town with dark thoughts.
Renascence
A strange sequence of events pulled me back from the edge of abyss. I still don’t understand how the sequence of events came to be. Some strange forces guided me.
A New Life
Guided by knowledge - ancient, modern and many things between - which I found though a strange process I gained my rightful place well up in the world’s pecking order. I found wealth, success, happiness and peace of mind that would have been a crazy dream at one time. More in the book I am working on - even I can’t believe the amazing expliots of my life as I flick through the draft pages of the book.
There is nothing new in terms of knowledge, you just have to know how to find it – with a guiding force.
I will give you access to this knowledge!
Well perhaps just one picture, as it was only a test drive!
