Thank You Very Much
Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes How long do you have to be thankful that someone put you on? I mean they gave you a job, gave you a chance and gave you the lead to a life changing sale.

Vending Machine Start-Up
Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes Yeah I know you think I’m talking about you lugging around a big old Coke machine but the angle that really works is the small ones. See what most people don’t realize about vending machines is if there is food in there then there’s probably some rats in there too. (bet you didn’t know that). That’s why most of your vending machines are for sodas as they haven’t made ...

F-150
Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes I bet if you look up most millionaires from the past they were driving a pick up truck! I know you think they were driving around in Bentleys and participating in high soceity events but truth be told they were driving right by you on the freeway. It’s not because they actually loved a F-150 it’s because they knew that is the most common looking, I’m just a regular ...

All the titles all the followers and all the kings men you should ignore when you are sitting across from any man trying to make a deal.

You Can’t Take it With You!
Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes Sheeeeiiiiitttt! Well I’m going to try! I was born broke but I’ll be damned if I don’t die rich! I have never believed in all these stupid sayings that people say when it comes time to really grind and make money. You Can’t Take it With You is by far one of the worst ever said by people who want to get all religious about the chips. Somehow this ...

College Futon Start-Up
Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes One of my first Start-Ups that I never got to bring into being was my College Futon business. See when I was in college I knew everyone went out and bought futons and all kinds of throwaway furniture. I mean I was the only cat I knew who made sure I had a bed and even that I got from a Hotel closeout place that had unused mattresses and ...

One Bill Theory
Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes One of the best kept secrets about money is people want to pull one bill out of their pocket to pay for things. Think about this because as soon as someone says it’s a dollar and that’s all they want from you, you are kind of surprised. The average customer thinks they are getting away with not paying taxes. Realistically this is the same feeling most cats get when ...
