Default Jay Abraham and Barter

Many of us have heard Jay Abraham speak of his success with barter, along with the success of many others doing big deals.

It would be interesting to hear of smaller deals done for every day items or services we have experienced.

I'll mention two: I received a full summer's worth of lawn mowing from a professional mower after helping with an ad for his services... I helped a local restaurant boost their business with a simple change in their menu and got no-cost lunches from that time forward for two years that I stayed in the area.

Any other stories?

Default 86 yr Old Neighbor Bought Me LUNCH

Thanks Millard,

Heavy rains here in Maryland.

A Neighbor had a 20 foot long - 12 inch deep gully wash into her Driveway.

I went down to my Stream.

Collected 4 buckets of Rocks.

Put Big on bottom.

Then Medium.

Then Shoveled 2 buckets of gravel off the road - that had washed out of her
drive.

On Top.

Pamela bought Me a Free Lunch.

Glenn

Default Texas Holdem Poker Player Bought Me a New MAC Computer

Thanks Millard,

I read a Book by Phil Helmuth about how to WIN at Poker.

Memorized The SLANG.

Play tight - Be careful

Play Loose - Take Risks

Then Started Consulting with Poker Players.

I taught Randy how to Make a DEAL with a Cocktail Waitress
to bring him a Constant Stream of Drinks and Snacks
during games at the local Pool Hall.

Randy started Bribing the Daughters of The Host of Local
Poker Games to Bring him snacks.

GOT BANNED from local games - he won so much.

Moved up to Pool Hall Games.

GOT BANNED again.

Then Randy signed up for a Poker tournament at a STRIP CLUB.

ADAPTED my idea.

Made a Deal to Tip a Busty Blonde a 100.00 Bill
Each time she brought him a drink or snack...

Tip #1 - She Handed him her T-Shirt
Tip #2 - Her Shorts
Tip #3 - Her Bra
Tip #4 - Her ...

Randy won 12,000.00

And all of the Losing Players THANKED Him.

Randy won so much he started paying off his house mortgage.

And Fed Exed me a New MAC Computer.

Phoned and helped me put it together. And Load the Software.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - Randy tells me he just paid off his Entire Mortgage. A couple hundred Grand from his Poker Winnings.

ALL because I taught him how to Invisibly PERSUADE apposing Players
to PLAY LOOSE when He has a Great hand of Cards.
