Le'me tell ya a true story ...

Back in the 50s & 60s, I,too, was an entrepreneurial fence hopper ... the grass was always greener on the other side of the fence. I started a multitude of businesses; some profitable, some not. I was always into (or going into) something more profitable.

In the late 60s, I owned & operated a rather successful Women's Wig Shop ... it was making a nice profit - but - as always, I kept going into other businesses on the side; using the profits from the Wig Shop.

One day, telling my wife (DeLores) about my plans for a new venture, she said, "We're making some good money in the wig business, why don't we just do that for a while and forget those other plans."

That stabbed me in my male ego ... it intimated that my ventures were less than viable and I was using up valuable resources which could have gone to home & hearth.

So ... in retaliation ... I said, "Okay. If that's the way you feel about it, I will do NOTHING but the wig business. Then, when we fail, it will all be your fault."

True to my word, I put 3"x5" cards with the words "Think Wigs!" on the walls in my office, around my desk, in the toilet, my car ... everywhere. And, I did NOTHING but work the wig business.

Just 2 years later, I was the largest wig dealer in the southeast ... with a string of retail shops; and a wholesale warehouse selling to other wig shops & beauty salons.

It was all my wife's fault ... she made me become a millionaire.
