Thanks Phil,

Good find on the FishFlops.

You inspired me to look for other silly ideas that made millions.

Dunno why We didn't think of this one.

One of our neighbors has a pet Husky that is a wide as it is tall. People
feed their dogs what THEY like. I asked and it weighs 150 lbs.

Same as me.

So.

Knowing dog owners treat the dog like their child.

Why not put glasses on the Pooch too?

Hey Phil,

Just Rediscovered this character.

A few years back I bought a bunch of his plastic wishbones.

Tested them.

By Breaking WishBones for LUCK with everybody I met.

Cashiers, doormen, cab drivers, people on the street.

AHA!

I made a discovery.

I figured out a way to ALLOW the Other person to WIN Every Time.
They always got the BIGGER part of the wishbone and FELT FANTASTIC and
Lucky.

So I created a Info Product around it.

Here's where to order Plastic WishBones... http://www.luckybreakwishbone.com/index.php

P.S. - I'm always looking for something silly, stupid and Weird
to create a product around.

My customers are BORED. And love to Flirt and Play with things that
help to turn strangers into friends. Which they then apply to their sales.

Thanks Phil,

Turns out - all things NATURAL - sell like hot cakes.

Grandma didn't know her grandson was an entrepreneur.

First few jars he made Using her NO SUGAR ADDED RECIPE - he sold to the
neighbors.

That was EZ. So he made More - he sold to everybody on his street.

Church events.

Flea markets.

Soon the kid had out-grown his Grandma's kitchen.

I read an article from 2008 that said he'd sold 500,000 jars of jam in his first
year by contracting with a local food factory to make jam to his Grandmothers Recipe.

Googled him just now.

Found this website based on his name.

SHAZAM!

4 years later - His jam is in 2000 Supermarkets!

P.S. - Perhaps I should put more of my Muffin Recipes into books.

Doesn't seem so darn goofy anymore.

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for sharing that information about the plastic wishbones!

What a great idea... Especially about figuring out how you can always let the other guy or gal win...

Everyone loves to feel good. If you make others feel good, you're helping to spread some "good magic" in the world, in my view...

You're an amazing ideas man! (...Who is also good at taking action!)

Thanks for the ideas and inspiration, Glenn...

Thanks Phil,

That is a great, inspirational story! What a cool idea!

(You can get a better idea of what "fish flops" are by going to their website - http://www.fishflops.com )

With kids so young, they usually need a little bit of adult help, and young Maddie did have a supportive Dad... You can read a little bit more about the background here...

Hi,

Just came across a website run by a bunch of Monks.

Tracked down my HP Printer toner cartridge for black and color.

Eeeek.

Only 8.99 instead of 40 smackers at the office depot store.
