What would you do if you lost $100 million? - Posted by Jim Beavens

For the past 7 days, our local paper, the Oregonian, has been running a 7-part series on Andy Wiederhorn, founder and former CEO of Wilshire Financial Services, which was sacked late last year when the sub-prime lending market blew up (but unlike alot of other companies, barely stayed afloat after going through bankruptcy). I found it to be fascinating reading, and thought others here might enjoy it as well. Not only is it related to real estate, but it provides rare insight into a real player. I’m sure there are several lessons we can take away from it.
Anyway, check it out:

a copy of “The Millionaire Next Door”. I personally know people worth more than him at his best that still fly coach,(instead of private jet), drive an SUV, (instead of Mercedes 600SL),live in a condo (instead of a 25 room mansion)and have a closetful of jeans (rather than Armani suits). Herein lies the problem?

Jim, thanks so much for that article. I held calls until I was done reading it! It just reminds us what true champions do when taken down. And you know what…maybe my problems aren’t so bad!
