With Harvey's methods, one would get to a winner more often, albeit a bit slower until you've done one or two, and get to know what you are doing. But his "think things through" TTT admonishment, helps avoid future problems and gives a clear flight plan to get to where you want to go. On the other hand, we have the Just Do It guys too. One of my fav Don Alm stories was when he just went around selling cookware in office bldgs, when he sold out, he went to the warehouse, bought more and went back to seeing the people. Something like this takes very little thought, although, a great amount of skill. Toll booths can be set up on smaller roads, unlike Harvey's super highways of demand...you can have several similar items, and bundle them into an unique product and sometimes beat the guy selling the same items separately. The reason Dien and I like Harvey's way, if we take the time to go over everything we learned, and pencil it out, consider the view from the rooftop, use the magnets and iron filings, get to the 4th, 5th and 6th gears it is sensational. One problem most of Harvey's "students" have had is, they all want to start at the top, find the winner first thing, and are unprepared to do what it takes...so, therefore, there might be a better way or opportunity for them to pursue. And our recent discussion about personality types comes into play too, maybe we are just not built for certain businesses and keep playing the same loop in our minds, because that is what we know. So, all the tools I've mentioned are only useful if you have a clear destination in mind, and this for many people, is the first stumbling block when trying to apply Harvey's methods. Just keep in mind there is not a one size fits all opportunity out there. GordonJ PS My email alert from eBay TODAY had hundreds of businesses for sale, including this one, which I have an interest in: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Popular-Affi.../331966308504? What would you do with it, where would you take it and how fast could you monetize it? |
