It is all very well to come in from the outside, but unless you are in a Class 1 or large Class2 you had better have something to contribute and knowledge of how the RR works. The best way is to study it through educating yourself and to learn by living it. All the charts and diagrams in the world are useless if you don't understand how the business drives the finances. <br /> <br />Also, I'm not suggesting you should start the MRL as your first venture. You'll need to start a LOT smaller than that, unless you have some serious backers, which is unlikely unless you have significant real world RR experience. Investors only follow management teams that have a good chance to succeed in my experience. If the investor doesn't see it that way, I don't want them to back me, that is just a lawsuit waiting to happen. <br /> <br />LC
