Thanks Michael....

Great posts! (This one and your earlier one....)

What excites me about these prospects is that I know that many quite successful people have done this....

I first came to know about the possibility from reading some of Joe Cossman's stuff. (He has a company web page, by the way, at www.cossman.com .)

He's done quite a lot of this sort of thing.... While Cossman has produced his own products, most of the products he made money from are products he found elsewhere or which were manufactured by someone else, which he became the *exclusive* distributor for....

Another guy, mentioned earlier on the forum, is Harvey Brody.... Gordon spoke with him on the phone. He was a student of Joe Cossman (among others), and to my understanding his big money also comes from being a middle-man (all within the USA -- not importing or exporting) -- armed with various exclusive distribution agreements....

It seems like there's great potential in distribution and in import/export...!

Also, thanks for the link to Dennis Hessler's site.... I read his free report, which was excellent....

I know you're clearly doing this yourself, Michael, so your comments are very valuable.... Thanks! :)
