Goodbye 04-06-05

I replied, "Yeah, Dan, I do. I'm broke."

So Dan lent me a considerable amount of money on the spot. I pulled off my gold Rolex watch and said, "Here Dan, you can hold this as collateral."

He looked at me with a frown on his face and said, "Holy cow Gary! I don't need any collateral from you. Take the watch back."

I said, "No, no Dan. You don't understand."

Dan asked, "Understand what?"

I said...

"You Don't Understand What

A Great Story This Will Make

In A Newsletter Some Day!"

Then I talked to Dan a little more and asked him if he had ever been in dire financial straits... while... trying to give a speech on having a positive attitude and teaching people strategies to make money. Dan told me a funny story.

Early in his career, he was giving one of his energetic, positive talks on money-making strategies. Apparently, he was doing this in some sort of store front building. Behind him there was a large plate glass window. At one point during his speech, he turned around and looked out that window. He couldn't believe his eyes. He saw his car being towed away by a tow truck because he hadn't made the payments on it and it was being repossessed.

I hope Dan will forgive me for telling this story. But, it's going to help me illustrate a point.

Many People Make Millions Of Dollars... And Then...

Conduct Their Affairs In Such A Way As To

Find Themselves Broke Once Again!

Other people (ignorant people) ask, "How could you have lost all that money?" Well I'll tell you something about people who ask that question. None of them have ever made millions of dollars.

You see, within the seeds of every man who has the ability to make millions of dollars... also... are the seeds with the ability to lose everything he has made.
