Default Jay Abraham and Barter

I am sure many of us have read of the barter deals that Jay Abraham has done as well as the stories he has shared of great barter deals. Things like trading unused cruise ship rooms to auto inventory, etc. etc. etc.

A few years ago I traded marketing advice for a full summer of lawn mowing for my yard.

What I am interested in is specifically smaller deals... day-to-day trades that make sense. I am not interested in barter clubs or organizations that trade services.

I seem to remember a website that had a lot of barter stories along this line.

Are there any resources from Jay Abraham that express some of his day-to-day trades. Jay tends to tell of the great trades or massive deals... but are there any resources that tell of Jay's mundane or "boring" trades?

The reason I am looking is because I want to see how much of my monthly expenses can be taken care of through barter. I seem to remember that Russell Brunson did some local business marketing and trading with this concept in mind.

Anyone want to share their successes or sources?

Default I shoveled a Neighbors Long Driveway after a Big Snow

Thanks Millard,

A week later after snow melted.

I Looked up.

And found a big box of FAT WOOD Fire Starter Sticks sitting by my door.

========
I took a dead limb off a Different neighbors fence.

And nailed the fence back.

Steve bought me 2 PIZZAS.

========
I cut up a small dead tree and hauled it away for another Neighbor.

Left a note.

"You owe me lunch."

Left me a note on MY door.

Saying, "I spoke to my Psychiatrist about your note about lunch. And he
Sends his Apologies. For me ignoring you.

I Still LAUGH about this.

HE Didn't apologize.

He writes to tell me His Psychiatrist APOLOGIZES.

=============
Ezine Subscriber comes back from Brazil
with "Montezumas Revenge."

I sent him a Jar of M&M's

Explaining the M&M jar is a Billion Dollar Referral System in Australia.

Doubles and Triples incomes for thousands of people.

Zak eats all the M&M;s

Asks for a Refill.

8 Bucks plus Shipping - out goes the Refill.

Zack buys 2000.00 of my stuff!

He never spent a dime before.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - I Interviewed the #1 Top Insurance Salesman at a company.

All he does is Barter.

Free Labor for Leads.

He runs a small Classified ad.

Need Help Moving?
ME here. I need Exercise.
Free Labor.
Call Steve at 000.0000-000

Then While lugging stuff he asks a QUESTION...

If you just got a Job Selling Insurance. Who is the First person
You would Call? Because they are sure to buy?

THEY ANSWER.

He says, "Would you Please give that person to me. I DO Sell Insurance."
