If you can sell, you’ll never need a job again.
You don’t even need to create the product.
Look at any retailer.
They don’t create the product, they just buy it from someone else at wholesale, then sell for a higher retail price.
Look at any hospital.
They don’t create the products OR the services.
They buy bandages and aspirins at wholesale and sell them to patients at a much higher retail.
They pay their doctors and nurses a wholesale salary and bill out their hours at a much higher retail.
Look at your employer.
They hire you at wholesale, then sell your output at a higher price to customers.
WHERE you sell, also makes a difference.
A cold bottle of water at a sporting event costs more than the bottle you grabbed from the 24-pack in your own fridge.
A sandwich at an airport costs more than a sandwich at a fast-feeder.
Convenience of location and a high degree of need makes the product more valuable, which means a higher sales price.
Goods and services with intangible value are the most fun.
An oil painting with a good story surrounding it can be sold for any amount the buyer will pay.
Buy the painting from the artist for $100, tell the story enthusiastically to the right buyer, and you could sell it for $1,000.
How many hours do you have to work at the job to earn $900?
What if you could sell that painting for $10,000?
How many would you need to sell in a year to replace that job income?
What if you only need to sell five?
What if you could sell those five within one month?
You just gained 11 months of freedom, 12 months of self-sufficiency and a lifetime of self-confidence.
This is how wealthy people think.
They don’t trade their time and freedom for money.
They trade goods and services for money.
Goods and services that take little time to create.
They buy low and sell high.
Start looking at your world through the eyes of opportunity.
What's needed?
What's missing?
How can you profitably provide that?
Answer these questions wisely and you'll write a happy ending to our little lesson.
Gidget was once a financial midget, but now sells widgets that earn many digits.
