What JA teaches (as I understand it) is about finding untapped resources, etc. -- but then setting up (what I would call) toll postitions -- I stand between you and getting higher profits, and collect a toll for every dollar that goes ("flows") through what (the better-ROI systems) I have set up. I am the choke point through which the higher profits must flow. That can be set-it-and-forget-it systems.

What I meant by free-standing as opposed to custom-built is, setting up toll boths to which both sides can come (and then leave) at will. Example: eBay.

A 'portal' that charges people (one one side or the other, or both sides) to use it. A free-standing toll booth.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by toll position altogether.

Can you write a definiton for us -- in one or two lines. Can you define the optimum situation or system you're talking about?

Thanks.
