Pretty Cool Huh? I know you’re not here because you think I’m kool. (I am). You’re not here because I’m brilliant. (I am). You’re here because you know what I do and you want to do it too. (You do). Listen, I used to give excuses for being poor until I realized that an explanation was needed. It didn’t change that I still failed. So, I don’t want to hear your miserable excuses why you can’t get shit done. There are 7-billion people on this planet and you (and I) aren’t special. I lived at a garbage dump. I stole ketchup and crackers from the gas station to have something to eat. I sold potato chips to make money. I slept in my truck in the parking lot of the steel mill where I was just another vehicle blended in. Here’s the deal though, that was my motivation to get out of homelessness and poverty. One day while I was crashing on the couch of a friend in his apartment, he never answered the door unless he knew who it was because he too owed everyone. That sparked the idea. I’ll bet you never heard of this one before. I lived in Florida where everyone lives in apartments and every one of them had a door to get in. (obviously), But…none of them had a “peep hole” to see who was at your door. I started installing “peep holes” for $10 a piece for people. Back then, the peep holes cost about $1. (One dollar). It took 2-minutes to drill a hole in the door and 7-seconds to install the peep hole. Bingo! $9 profit. I went from door to door banging on them and scared the hell out of people. Then when they answered the door, bingo. A business was born. I could install about 35-40 in a day, six days a week. Sometimes 7-days. Do the math. That’s nearly $400 A DAY IN PROFIT! Times 5 days a week, (conservatively) and I earned about $2,000 a week…every week. That was in 1974! I worked EVERY apartment complex from Miami to West Palm Beach! There are thousands! Minimum wage was about $1.20 an hour! Most people never earned more than $200 a week then! I was 19-years old and slamming in almost $2,000 a week.
