2 Ideas for Buying and Selling Yeilding $1500 with $0 investment

Hi Paul,

I just wanted to do a bit of "thinking out loud"....

By the way, if you haven't read Paul's other posts yet, you'll find links to them in the next issue of "The Entrepreneurial Hotsheet" tomorrow (just had to get a plug in).... :)

What I was thinking, Paul, is that what you did actually has parallels with academic life, which didn't strike me until now....

Part of life of being an academic researcher is going to conferences and presenting the findings of your research. You usually have to give a summary of what you will present MONTHS in advance. Often, the research isn't even HALF finished yet! However, you still have to give a summary of what you will say!

What that means in reality is that as the conference date arrives, there's often a lot of "scrambling" to put together a talk! (Not always, sometimes things are well-prepared....) But what I'm getting at is that there are many parallels here.

You have to PROMISE what you're going to say first.

Then - even if you don't feel quite ready - you HAVE to make that presentation!

There are alot of parallels with what you did, Paul, with your seminar, except of course you got much better paid for it! :)

Thanks Paul, the things you have said have really gotten the wheels in my head spinning!
