Bea, I also got his publication in the mail, and I spoke to him on the telephone. Furthermore, I ordered a business op from someone he mentioned. It was about providing small laminated placeholders to restaurants. The money was to be made by selling advertising on them. As part of the deal this fellow provided laminated samples. Well, I showed them around to local restaurant owners and they didn't think much of the placeholders. Maybe they sold down South where this other man lives, but they didn't impress up north.
By the way, which idea worked for you Bea? Jerry |

I tried to do a search on him, but kinda came up dry. Just a couple of mentions with now website info that I could find.
If anyone has any info on a website, give a shout. Pete |

Hi, Jerry & Pete
Yes, he's quite the character...it reminds me of the old saying "WHY do some people make a go of business? Because no has told them they CAN'T!" or something to that effect, anyway ~lol~ We were once in a city where we knew these people that weren't quite right (but they were really nice), & everywhere, at different times, I saw these people out...they were selling. They found a place (who KNOWS where, lol!) to get used tires & they set up in the Wal-mart parking lot on the main road & sold till they got ran off....they found extra produce where the trucks dropped them at the loading docks & they SOLD those there, too...had a brisk business! ~lol~ They were making money...why? B/c no one had told them they couldn't!! Ok, Jerry, you asked which biz I made the good money off of. It was the - I hate to tell you this - one you ordered, too. That must've been a sixth sense with you to order that one - - it was a good one. In fact, if you still have the laminated samples, I was just wishing I still had mine of those! I would be willing to buy them from you. I think the course was like $50 at the time & I can't even find the old copy of the book that I had in those days to see if I could order more. Bea ![]() |

Bea, maybe I wasn't persistent enough. Anyway, the last restaurant I showed them to made me feel real small. With a look of disgust on his face he said he would never put such a thing on his tables. And his restaurant was just a cut above a greasy spoon.

Oh, man, Jerry! Yes, some of them can really put you thru the ringer, allright. That's when it's real important to do many at a time (I did mine by phone & just sent out one thru the mail) and then when one or two turn you down it's no big deal. But Yes, I really do know what you mean. There are major companies that do nothing BUT this, so I know it's a winner...he just had an attitude..don't worry about those people, maybe he just wasn't happy about something or another & taking it out on you! Never know & then just don't take it personal.

Jerry, I tried to email you, but you weren't registered when you posted. You can shoot me an email thru the email system here, though. I can fill you in on some of the details.

Bea, I sent you an email through this board a couple days ago. I haven't been on top of things online because I am traveling.
