Uncle No Name
His name was Wally Amos and he built a $100 million business selling his "Famous Amos Cookies." Through a series of unfortunate circumstances, he lost his business. He went from fame and fortune to a debt level of one million dollars.
Even worse, he lost the right to use the name he made famous. He did not, however, lose the things that made him successful in the first place. He maintained his sense of humor and his outgoing, optimistic, confident nature. As might be expected, he bounced back big time.
He started a new venture under the name of "Wally Amos Presents Chip'n Cookie." PEOPLE Magazine did a story and Fitz & Floyd made a Chip'n Cookie Jar. J.C. Penney marketed Chip'n Cookie dolls. Everyone was delighted at Mr. Amos' comeback. Everybody but the new owners of "Famous Amos." A lawsuit resulted and once again he was put out of business.
Wally says he got famous and rich and paid a price for it. . . . He wrote a book, MAN WITH NO NAME, which was enthusiastically received . . .and he is back in the food business. He started a new company by the name of “Uncle No-Name." (In 1999 they changed the name to Uncle Wally’s.) Wally is a good example of a man being knocked down but not out. He is fighting back with the same zest and zeal he demonstrated the first time around. I predict he will continue to do well.
Wally Amos is the classic example of a man who gets up again and again. The old saying that a person who won't be beat can't be beat is certainly true of "Uncle No-Name." Adopt his attitude and I'll See You At The Top!

Re: Review My: Trump 4 President Site
- Hey Zac - congrats on getting it up quickly!
My first thoughts are: loud and cluttered.
Red is a very powerful color and to have it as a background can be really hard on the eyes (especially a widescreen monitor where the background is so big).
There's also a lot going on - what do you want people to do? Get on the newsletter list? I'm unsure what I'm supposed to do next...
I love the picture though with Trump on Uncle Sam with the You're Fired Mr. President - I think the content will shine through more as you get the graphic interface looking a little nicer. You might want to consider putting it up on 99designs for some bids.
How do you plan to monetize the site? That could help us help you better as well!

- Book: Soloing: Realizing Your Life's Ambition
Harriet Rubin
1999
Soloing has two meanings: "going it alone" and "being complete in yourself." But you don't just leave - a company/a career/a paycheck - and cross over to a more satisfying life. There's more to it.
1. The first freedom is regaining your sense of identity
2. The second freedom in independence - having complete command and control over your time and the work you do.
3. The third freedom is income - Solo money is alive. You work harder, but you enjoy it more
4. The fourth freedom is illumination - a professional builds a career, a soloist builds a portfolio and a life free of boredom
