Enough preamble. Now it's time for me to give you your
little assignment. And, after I give you this assignment, I'm
going to explain the significance of it to you in minute
detail. And, after my explanation, the more dense of my
readers will say, "Hey yeah, this makes sense to me. I
understand what he's getting at so... there's no real need for
me to actually do this little exercise."

Is that you? If so, you lose. Because you cannot
understand what I'm getting at unless you do the
assignment. And, if you do do the assignment...

Your Lust For Money Will

Be Energized Beyond Belief

For All The Rest Of Your Life!

Here is your assignment: I want you to place a
classified ad in the largest circulation newspaper in your
area. Here is what the ad should say:

Housewives
wanted to address

envelopes at home. You must

have a typewriter or good

handwriting. Call 000-0000.

I want you to run this ad in the "help
wanted" section of the classifieds exactly the way
it is written above. The only acceptable change whatsoever is
maybe changing the word "housewives" to
"part-time workers" and you should only make this
change if the newspaper forces you to. Sometimes
newspapers will insist you make a change like this because
advertising for housewives is sexist (they say) and shows
prejudice against men.

Anyway, running this ad is the first part of your
assignment. The second part is you personally take all
the calls this ad will generate. Also, you should take these
calls on a single line phone.

You know, back in the days when the likes of Ben Suarez
and his brother Rick were working for me, I used to insist
that key employees complete this little assignment and, nearly
always, my employees thought I was a little nuts. But, since
they depended on me for their paychecks, they didn't have much
choice in the matter and here is what would always happen...
which will also happen when you do this assignment:
