So how do you handle a situation when your client says he/she has no money? Here is a short story to reveal the secret of how to overcome the "no-money" scenario:
I was outside in front of the house when a man and three of his kids and dog walked by. One of his boys, about four years old asked me if I wished to buy a marble.
I mentioned that I had no money on me he said, "It's only a Quarter!"
So, I pulled my pockets inside-out to show him the empty rabbit ears.
The young boy looks at me and quips: "Wow, you need to go to the bank!"
Kid's gonna make a great sales person!

Whoops - cant spell in the topic - it should be "A Tip On Overcoming Obstacles"... not a "top".

Somehow Frank, somewhere between the ages of 9 and the onset of puberty we lose that spinyness. Oh yeah now I remember...it's that F.E.A.R. thing.
It's part of being mature and grown up...maybe that Peter Pan thing isn't such a bad idea. Most of us have already got the I won't go to work part done. (you could hardly call something you love doing this much, WORK) Maybe, just maybe we are on to something here.??? maybe. |

frank's got a great story there, and Gp has the timeline figured almost exactly.
we manage to hold onto so much of our "child" in this business: the imagination, the pretending, the excitement. how much better to have retained that fearlessness as well.
if that kid decides to hold a seminar, let me know so i can sign up !
