He admits he was delusional in his pursuit.

When he met his wife and they started their direct-marketing company things changed.

A copywriter approached them and they began to work together.

The business started to flourish.

T.J. applied himself to learning sales copy and when he penned his first letter it brought in a cool million bucks.

The rest, as they say, is Goessel, Kansas history (population 400!).
