Come on Casey

Let me just start off by saying I am not trying to be a hater. I would love to see you succeed at this island project, who wouldn't want to have a friend who owns their own island. I even think it is remotely possible, with a LOT of work. Now what I have to say is that I am losing "faith" very quickly. It seems like you are pulling back on this project. You don't seem to be as motivated as you first were. I don't think your "island time" work ethic is going to work. At least not for an island2012 project. You are contradicting yourself by putting such a short time frame on the project but then saying "its all good it will happen on it's own." If you want it to happen by 2012 it is going to take a lot of hard work on your part. Also I don't believe the whole offline/online separation you are creating is healthy for the project. You may be networking and working on different angles behind the scenes but you need to share that with the online community. Right now the online community thinks you are doing nothing, and they are a big part of your audience with the potential of being a HUGE audience, don't neglect them. Again I would really love to see this happen, and believe me I would love to come to the island and drink a long island ice tea on the beach. Make this thing happen bro.

  1. Ah yes, you're at the 'Bargaining' stage of becoming a hater. You'll be to 'Acceptance' soon enough. Welcome, brother.

  2. Haha... I might have similar advice as some of the "haterz" but I won't ever label myself as one. How other people label me is out of my control.

  3. When the saying "God helps those who help themselves", I don't think it was said to mean someone like Casey who helps himself to what's yours.

  4. For a long time I labeled myself as a realist instead of as a hater. Eventually I figured out the haterz have better cookies.

  5. James, you sound like me in the early days. I would argue with Casey on the very term, HATER. A Hater, in the slang Casey uses, means somebody jealous of another.

    Who the heck is jealous of your grifter friend, Casey? Certainly not any of us. I do give you props, as always, you are willing to criticize and that is what makes you a decent guy.

    Guys like Casey think the world owes them something. I hate to break it to Casey but the most successful business people usually don't surround themselves with YES men. Good job, James!

  6. Haha! I love the ongoing Casey Serin story. If you seriously put money/time/effort into Casey's project(s), you've done about as much research into him as he seems to do into them (the projects). I believe he's pulled out of/renegged on everything he's been involved in up until now, usually in a not too pleasant way. I'm so glad that he's back though; reading about his "adventures" in the real estate market was incredibly entertaining.
