Mary....I LOVE your Spirit and Sense of humor and WIT! You are a "One-Of-A-Kind"...and what really would make ME feel good is to hear that YOU have "hit a BIG one"!

YOU have it within YOU to do something "great"! No BS! The first time I heard your voice on the phone I could SENSE..."something wonderful" inside YOU! All you need is the "right" idea for you.

Maybe...one of these days I can come up with something that works for you.

Oh...watch this!

I live in a small town in the Pacific NW, Roseburg, OR (pop 22,000 and a lot of trees, cattle and sheep)

We now refer to it as "Coffee Country".

Well...just for the heck of it the other day...I asked a friend of mine, who owns 4 drive thru coffee huts...approx. how many Lattes & Capachinos was he selling a month, at $3 a whack.

What he told me bolled me over.

Just in his 4 drive thrus he is selling 26,000 cups of $3 coffee A MONTH!...about $75,000 Retail worth of COFFEE!

Well...THIS got me wondering and thinking.

I then did some research and went around to the other coffee huts and made an astounding compilation;

In this dorky little town of 20,000 odd...they are selling 60,000 CUPS OF COFFEE A MONTH!

Well...these numbers caused me to sit down and do some serious thinking.

Then....I got it! I figured out a way where "I", Mr Idea Man, Don Alm...could make 18 cents from EACH CUP sold...every month!

Now...18c does NOT seem like a lot BUT...multiply this by 60,000 and NOW we're talking some SERIOUS NUMBERS!...each and every month.

And...once I get it put together here...I can go to the bigger towns where more coffee is being sold.

Sorry I can't divulge just yet BUT...when I get the thing up and going I'll let you know.
