Default Beware The Farmer Who Says, "I'll Hold The Sack. You Jump in The PigPen."

Thanks Dien,

I learned the hard way that you cannot Trust Farmers. Dairy farmers Especially.
I think it's the 24/7 nature of the job. Cows HAVE to be Milked every day.
And fed. You Can NEVER Take a Vacation.

IN MY EXPERIENCE -
Each ROTTEN Job they give you starts with flattery.

**********

"You are young and full of vitamins Young Fella..."

**********
A - FARMER SAYS - "I'll drive the tractor. You Take this hay hook and pile
the hay bales on the wagon as they come off the baler.

THEN Lester would drive under a low limb
and pull the whole load of hay over onto the ground. I learned to JUMP
the other way or get buried.

B - FARMER SAYS - "I'll Stay on the ground and toss the hay bales on the hay elevator. You climb up in the hay mow and Pile the bales like stacking bricks.

THEN I'd get Stung by all the wasps building WASP nests in the top
of the barn.

C - OR MY FAVORITE. "I'll hold the burlap bag. You jump in the pigpen
where I've got the Mama Sow behind that board. Grab the piglets and stuff
them headfirst in the bag.

The Only Time I Did this - Piglet #1 Started to SCREAM his head off when I grabbed his back legs and held him up-side-down.

Mother pig - who was the size of a Volkswagen Beetle and Weighed a 1000 lbs
BROKE the board.

Ever See a 1000 pound MAMA Pig's Teeth - up close? I got a Close Look at a MOUTH full of Yellow Teeth - each bigger than my Thumb -
just before I DIVED over the 5 foot tall fence.

Lester-the-Farmer was LAUGHING. He said, "See what I mean? At my age
I couldn't have jumped over the fence that fast."

ODD sense of humor - those Dairy Farmers.

Default Deer and their "friends"

Your "deer story" reminds me of a time when I inhabited 10 acres, surrounded by woods. Deer were plentiful and brought predators with them.

I was out walking the property, when I came across the predator"s work.
A couple of recently mauled, nasty looking, deer carcasses.

A little further on, I came across the little "bustards" who probably did it.

A couple of coyotes, with an attitude problem. #6 shot promptly adjusted their attitude.

Default Doing a solid vs doing a favor.

But, I think the best way is to return the favor too. That approach will rarely lose, in my opinion...


Dien

My thoughts are, doing a favor in expectation of a return is high covert manipulation. If you receive a favor, why wouldn't you want to return it?

Well one reason would be...because it was contrived. Purposeful.

Today we say, "He did me a solid." I believe it was George Costanza who said,

"A favor is for free, a solid is a debt." If not, I could easily see him say it to Jerry.

Giving or asking for favors with expectation is a tactic. A Clintonesque, measured and monitored sneaky way to gain.

Hi Gordon,

I'm actually not opposed to this... Maybe it's because I like getting free stuff!

In an area I used to live (around 20 years ago), there was a small hole-in-the-wall falafel sandwich restaurant. Every weekend, without fail, they'd have a staff member standing outside the shop, with a tray full of warm, freshly-cooked falafel balls. She'd have a pair of tongs, and using the pair of tongs, offer everyone walking by a free falafel ball - no obligation!

Why was she doing that? I don't think it was for charity.

Of course, the staff member was drumming up business for the falafel restaurant.

Yeah, I took a falafel ball, on more than one occasion! And I enjoyed it! I did eat there at least once, too... It was okay (but I preferred other restaurants).

However, I never regretted taking those falafel balls...

Best wishes,

Dien

Default Bartering for Case Studies to Put in my *$2 Makes $500* mp3 Book

Thanks Gordon,

Loved your "I Don't Care About You" Post.

I'm doing a "I DO CARE about You" - Project Right Now."

So your point is well taken.

ONLY AFTER I help each prospect Make More Munny - right where they are.
IF they Take Action -

Only Then do we Invite them to Pay 2000.00 to Join
Our Real Estate Mastermind Group.

Some of the Rough Steps to our Process:

#1 - A Client has a road sign that pulls in 100's of calls

#2 - Abe calls them back and asks my "Enchanted NLP Questions"
to Qualify them. Find out what they want.

#3 - Then flips prospects over to me.

#4 - I send them a Couple emails...

I - One Page - "How I Save 1200.00 a yr Off My Electric Bill

II - ONE PAGE - "How to make 5K Extra Giving Away LOTTO Tickets"

THEN I call them by phone.

III - It's REALLY Interesting who calls a Road Sign about ...Wanting to make Extra
munny in Real Estate."

a - I spoke with a city bus driver about how to make Extra
Moolah ON THE BUS.

b - Helped a Lady with her asthma. And sent her a Paper Rose TIP BOOSTING Idea to share with her CPA Son - who makes extra moolah as a waiter.

c - Talked to a Dr To Dr Water Cleaning System S*alesman. How to use
my 1200.00 LED Report to say to home owners, "I'll p*ay you 1000.00 for 2 minutes of your time."

d - Spoke to Ben - a biz owner who has 12 Dr To Dr S*alespeople on his team.
They s*ell (1) Perfume (2) Self Defense TASERS (3) Cheap cell phones

e - Chatted with a 2nd Grade Teacher about Extra C*ash ideas

f - Spoke to Zeke - who works construction putting up sheet Rock Walls
on The NIGHT SHIFT.

OF about 15 Folks...

2 Took Action on the LOTTO TICKET Idea.

Letter d - (After I called him - admitted he'd gotten a F-r-e-e Dessert
at a restaurant with lotto tickets. But Did Not TELL me.)

Letter f - Zeke - Gave 2 LOTTO tickets to the Lady at the Gas Station
where he gets his coffee. AND She Gave him a F-r-e-e Box of Donuts ZEKE emailed me to SHARE his success. (And got REWARDED.)

=========
=========
WIN - WIN -

THANK YOU REWARD for Zeke - We Created ONE PAGE of PRE-HEAT that
Zeke Can Give Away to "The Donut Lady" and others to INCREASE
REFERRALS.

(EDITORS NOTE - We've Doubled 5 clients incomes over the past yr
with this ONE PAGE Pre-HEat idea.)

In Just One Week - Zeke has used LOTTO Tickets to get 500.00 of
Home Repair Referrals from the Donut Lady AND a 500.00 Mold removal Job from a clerk at a job site.

And since Zeke Admits to making 200.00 Profit PER HOUR on a 250.00 job.
And making Less than 30.00 an hr at his job.

500% More.

I have a good FEELING that Zeke will soon get Many 1000's of d*ollars
of Extra Hole-in-The-Wall Repair JOB REFERRALS for his OWN - Moonlighting
business. (By Adding the 1-Page-Referral-System - to what he is Already Doing.)

=========
=========

“How to Make 5 Grand By
Giving Away Instant Scratch
Off LOTTO TICKETS.”

A 5000.00 - No Strings - Thank You REWARD
for Having the Guts to Call Our “Real Estate Investor Sign” Phone #

Dear friend,

May I ask You A QUESTION?

You know how when people ask, “What do you do for a living?” people
Usually answer with a Job Title or the name of the Business they run?

Well.

We don’t Do That.

Instead I say, “What I Do Is Make People Extra Moolah - from Home/at Work/In Your Biz - using ideas from the hundreds of self made m*illionaire Entrepreneurs I’ve Interviewed over the past 27 years.”

AND then I Give Away an Idea Proven to Make The Average
American - who TAKES ACTION - at least 5K Extra a Year. Usually more.

The Catch?

OH YES - There IS a Catch.

***Only 1 out of 20 People DO ANYTHING.

To Pass My GOLDEN RULE Test You Simply Give Away Lotto Tickets to Waitress/S*alespeople/Cashiers - then email me at [email protected] - about what happens.

Are You Ready?

Here goes:

**********
5000.00 IDEA #1 - This Little Gem Was Borrowed from a Real Estate Investor who b-uys Foreclosed homes Dr to Dr. The Idea Gets Him thru the door. And Makes him Literally M*illions per year.

A - We interviewed a Car S-alesman who Is #1 At his dealership. He uses The SAME Lotto ticket idea.

B - We adapted the idea for a S*alesWoman We coach. She s-old 1.2 M*ILLION Toyotas Last year.

C - My Clients and I who give Away 10 LOTTO tickets a Week - Face to face, by snail mail or via Paypal - all gross 5K Plus Extra. Conservatively.

Thanks,
Glenn Osborn
M*illionaire Mastermind M*arketing Association
Rentamentor Group

P.S. - You can Expect a Call to DOUBLE CHECK you got this Thank You Reward Email OK.

P.P.S. - AND When we Chat - Please Remind Me to Send You my 1 Page Report on How I Pocket 1200.00 a yr - 100.00 per room - From The Electric Co. AND how I Discovered a way to Bank 1000.00 per yr per person - Shopping for Food For Your Family.

***5000.00 PLUS - 100.00 per room PLUS 1000.00 Per Family Member
Maybe 7K to 10K YEAR AFTER YEAR after year. For You.

No
Matter
What.

P.P.P.S. - Why All The BRIBES? To Pay You for 5 Minutes of your Time. ASK Your OPINION. We’re Translating the Gobbledegook SLANG of Real Estate Investor INSIDERS - into Plain English. And boy oh boy do we need Fresh Eyeballs. We’re too close to it.

P.P.P.P.S. - Last Point. It’s IMPORTANT. Click this link to find 100 Others who have Emailed me about WHAT HAPPENED when they Gave Away a LOTTO ticket, a 1.00 Bill or a 3 by 5 Thank you note. (Hint - the LOTTO ticket is easiest
yet gets a HUGE Response. So start with that.)

Default *How to Make An Extra $1200 from Home* - Report

How a Home Owner Makes An EXTRA $1320
A Year By Switching to LED Light Bulbs

Hi,

I had a Big Hole in my Wallet.

But I plugged it.

Here’s why my 142.00 a mo electric bill dropped to 32.00 a mo. I replaced The Incandescent and Fluorescent Bulbs in our house w/Super Efficient LEDs.

After testing 4 different screw in LED Bulbs. I liked the Cree 9.5 watt best.
The Amazon Link -
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Our 3 Bathroom Mirrors have 4 Bulbs over them. But the darn Cree LED is SO BRIGHT I unscrewed 3 bulbs - use one.

The 4 Bedrooms got an LED (SO Bright I Use 1 Bulb instead of three.)

The Living Rm, Dining Rm, Family room, Kitchen, Laundry room, hallway, Front & Back Door entrances, Basement and Garage - all got replacement LED bulbs.

15 LED Bulbs put $110.00 a month into my pocket.

OH YEAH.

My Dad put motion detectors on all 4 corners of the house. And the Porch.

Heard a noise one night. A Racoon was eating the Cats Food on the front Porch. Using Our Flood Lights!

Then I caught a Fat Groundhog eating the flowers.

And a deer eating my Sweet Potato Plants.

And I was Paying so they could SEE BETTER to eat Breakfast, lunch and dinner at our Expense. NO MORE. I taped over the motion detectors!

Just bought a New Pair of Shoes with some of my Extra Money. Glenn
