Great advice, John.

$2,000 is only $66.66 ($67) a day! Anyone can make $67 a day doing pretty well anything - from washing windshields at traffic lights to selling door-to-door.

Throw in some chattel deals and the $2,000 a month barrier should be EASILY broken.

Of course, when I say easily I don't mean it will be easy, I mean making more than $2,000 a month will virtually be a guaranteed - your $67 a day "enterprise" will get your there and your chattel deals will push you over the top.

This reminds me of Gordon's Seven Steps To Quick Money. I believe it went something like this...

1: Decide HOW MUCH money you want.

2: Decide WHEN you want the money by.

3: Decide on what EFFORT you will put in to get it.

4: Take ACTION - start doing what you decided you would do in step 3.

5: ADJUST your ACTION as you go, to keep on track with step 1 and step 2.

6: KEEP GOING - keep taking ACTION doing what you said you would in step 3, and adjust as needed.

7: COUNT YOUR MONEY.

So to use the $67 a day thing, it would look like this...

1: AMOUNT $67 a day ($469 a week)

2: TIME One day (one week)

3: HOW selling detergent door to door

4: Knock on doors with a small carry basket with detergent in it.

5: Knock on doors where people appear to have:
a) nice car
b) nice house
c) mowed lawn
d) are home

6: Sell one, then two, then three, then four, and so on, until you have sold your supply. Then get more and sell them again.

7: Count your money.

22 single bottle sales at $3 profit per sale makes you $66.

11 two bottle sales at $6 profit per sale makes you $66.

1 eleven bottle sale - to someone who wants to give the detergent to others, or likes buying in bulk - at $3 profit per bottle makes you $66.

Don't like residential door to door selling, hit a highrise office building. Start at the top and work your way down.

Don't want to sell detergent, then try something else. Washing cars, mowing lawns, cleaning gutters. It's only $67 a day.

This is where most people fall down. Werk? Who wants to do that? HA!

But doing so should make the $67 a day a walk in.

YES! You become more profficient and making the $67 a day should become easier... more in your comfort zone.

EXACTLY. As long as you kept going once your $2,000 goal had been reached.

Ain't rocket science but it works a charm. All effort is cumulative.
