The REASON WHY THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER CRY OVER SPILLED MILK IS BECAUSE THE SAME RAG THAT YOU USE TO wipe it up just may provide you the revelation or answer to a bigger, better and a whole new prosperous life.
When I was down and out, broke, depressed, confused and drowning in debt
I done something that I was very bad at doing and hated to do as well – writing. I failed English so bad that I WAS ASSIGNED A TUTOR and even with the assistance of a tutor I still just got by with a C- bordering on D- . After looking, and searching and thinking about what could I possibly
do to make some real fast and quick money to revise what had already became a ship wreck under water life for me.. I considered doing some other crazy and foolish things as well. A very big factor in determining what I could do and could not do at the time was money. And at this moment and time money was something that I did not have.
Check this out.
As a leisure pass time on week-ends, we would sometimes go to special events,flea markets, or swap meets or auctions. I was fond of watching other people working at their booths at flea Markets and making money on everything from A to Z. They were selling old items, used items, new items and Plain junk. Other people were selling food and beverages. Hot dogs, burgers, sausages, fries and pickles. Most markets are open only on week ends- Saturday and Sunday-which are high volume traffic days. Most booth operators/dealers are very friendly and like to talk They are open information sources for anyone that will listen- I listened. As a results, I collected A lot of insider information from them just in conversation. What I didn’t know at the time is that later in my life i would utilize my observations and conversations with market owners, dealers and booth operators to save my very own skin from the harsh despairing reality that would beset me.
Here is the greatest part of this story. First I observed the market place. Next I got to know a lot of the owners, dealers, and booth operators. One day I got laided off of my job. I Looked for A long time and could not find one. My bills piled up. My car got repossessed.
My mortgage got behind for four or five months and my home was going into foreclosure in a week or two. I became depressed. I remember the morning that I had to push myself very hard to get out of bed. It was a raining , cold and dreary morning. I felt confused, worthless and in despair. it was hard lying their trying to justify my reason to get to face another uncertain difficult day with no money in my pocket and had borrowed way over my limited from family and friends.
Eventually, I got out of bed and started thinking back and forth. I though about how and what could I do to get myself out of this awful place. i sat down at my desk and looked around and the thought hit me like a ton of bricks. I remembered all those conversations that i had had with Flea Market Owners and literally had seen them counting thousands of dollars when i would sometime go in their office to pay my booth rent.
This is what I said to myself next – I can do this. I am going to open up a flea Market of my own. Then I though about where and how am I going to do this. I don’t have any money to lease a building or to lease a lot for my market. Then I though for a second or two. I can write up a partnership proposal and submit it to every land lord in the seven city area of the location in which I live.
Here is the amazing part of my story. I written a one and a half page partnership proposal in about 1-1/2 hours on the same morning of my deep and dark despair. Next I went to the copy place and made about 100 copies to start distributing to everyone that owned some property or a lot that might suit the purpose I would need for my market. I got my copies and got back in the car, sat down behind the wheel and became nullified, when I asked myself where and who I am I going to start with. I took a deep breath and regain my composure and just started driving down the road. I told myself that now that I am out here I have to keep going at any cost. I drove on down the road and came to a big building with a large paved parking lot. I GRABED ONE OF MY PROPOSALS OFF the front seat after I had parked. Then I went inside to talk to the owner. I told him what my game plan was and he agreed to it on the spot. When I walked out the door I breathes a big sigh of relief and headed to city hall to get my business license. The Following week-end I open I made over $4,000.00. On the week-ends after, I made enough to pay off all of my bills.
This experience served me so well that I WROTE A Little 37 Page book called Modern Day Flea Marketing-Fun and Money tips that Could Make You Rich. Why did I choose such a title? I choose this title because I was fond of watching other people working at their booths at flea Markets and making money on everything from A to Z. They were selling old items, used items, new items and Plain junk. Other people were selling food and beverages. Hot dogs, burgers, sausages, fries and pickles. Most markets are open only on week ends- Saturday and Sunday-which are high volume traffic days. Most booth operators/dealers are very friendly and like to talk They are open information sources for anyone that will listen- I listened. As a results, I collected A lot of insider information for my book from the conversations that I had with them. The group as a whole is a like-minded community. On the other hand, however, things can go sour and get very ugly at some of these flea market week-end events.
Here is the greatest part of this story. First I observed the market place. Next I got to know
the owners, operators, dealers, vendors,and other attendees. Next by me not having any start up or operating funds, Then i discovered how to write a no money down proposal to acquire the land and building i needed to open my market. Next i wrote my first book on this subject and subsequently became a publisher of many more about my other experiences in my life. The net take away from my involvement and experience and ordeal is that that the no money down proposal that i put together is now a product that I sell for $19.97 a pop. and My Modern Day Flea Market Book is the 2nd product that sells for $19.97 per copy
The best part of it all for me is that now I get to help others to learn to be creative and to help them to overcome challenges that they face in their lives.
