I'm recovering from our trip to the Big Apple to watch a Loral Langemeier seminar. I know she's big on hiring housecleaners and assistants and I was hoping to network with that crowd to grow my Virtual Assistance business. Lots of dreams, and lots of money pouring out the door. Some of the packages were selling anywhere from $29.95 for the book to $3000 for coaching sessions to $15,000 for a shot at The Big Table. It was tempting; you always want a mentor to lead the way, but I think I'll hold off on that big investment for a little while longer. I networked with some really terrific people who I have no doubt will achieve their dreams of millionaire status.
While I was in the room, one woman who had just purchased her $300 package realized it was missing a real estate investment guide and gladly plunked down another $100 or so bucks for that package. How do you generate that income so quickly? I'm asking for $20 from 300-some odd people and they've generated around $300,000 in an afternoon! I guess it's the promise of building something better for your own life that draws people to shell out lots of money to buy into that paradigm. The American Dream in full swing.
I loved the cabbies! One from Pakistan told me he worked in a shoe store when 9-11 hit. He said a woman distraught over the devastation came into the store because her shoes had been lost in the blast. She could not remember her size and he marvelled at the confusion that that horrible day caused. You could see him playing the memory over in his mind as he dodged the food cart on the left and the Lincoln on the right.
A gentleman from India said "you can build anything you want here in America as long as you want to work hard for it." He hit the nail on the head.
Yes, becoming a millionaire's a noble goal, but it takes time, vision and hard work. I'll just settle for an $8,000 library in Cambodia, thank you!
I'll get pictures up on the blog a little later on. Thanks for checking in!
