Prospecting for Black Gold in North Dakota – just be sure to bring your sleeping bag…

I thought I’d take a break from answering questions this month to tell you about my new business. It’s called Black Gold Suites, and there’s a story behind it. My wife and I spend part of every year in Telluride, Colorado, where we have a home and where I’ve gotten into residential construction. I’ve become friends with my builder, Steve Finger, who came to me earlier this year and said he wanted my advice about a business opportunity.

"Do you need money?" I asked. I knew that his industry had been hit fairly hard by the recession.
