Default Reminds me of the grow your own LOOFA report...

that I reviewed while working at Suarez Corporation Industries. Thanx to Garth, I was able to get into the time machine and go back to when they were selling The Professional Remote Direct Marketing Home Study Course...the promotion I wrote (still with my name on it at the bottom) is alive and well in the archives of the Internet.

It was a project I was involved in from start to finish and just by DOING it, I gained valuable "insider" info on how these things are done...but, about the LOOFA..

While at SCI, one of my many hats I wore, was one of Product Reviewer...to take another look, to put a pair of fresh eyes...onto the many SGS (sales generation systems, or PRODUCTS if you will) that were submitted for evaluation.

One I found kind of interesting was about making your own Loofa sponges...and here Dien is where I tie it in to your furniture post...

not only can you grow your own furniture with time, but you can make your own LOOFA (or loofah, luffa, loufah) sponge by growing gourds and drying them out.

One guy had written this whole little report an it and HE thought it was the greatest thing in the world that EVERYONE would want to buy it, cause everyone loves loofa. Ah, my job was to bring people out of the clouds and down to reality.

The process was INVOLVED, starting with growing your own gourds...and harvesting them just at the right time, then soaking them in a complicated brine mixture that had to be just right...then drying them out...

HE couldn't understand why WE didn't want to pursue the marketing of his report. I told him I just went to the drug store and bought my loofa for about 2 bux.

So Dien, I think a BETTER idea, one to include in the Great Ideas Letter?????????? he he...

is to GROW a LOT of FURNITURE...and in 4 years sell it off to those people who WANT it, but don't want to take the time to do it...OR, you could give them directions to the nearest Lazy Boy store....

Ah, the things that people have to spend their TIME ON...oh my. This gives a whole new meaning to growing your own...he he.
