![]() The story is from "Those Who Have Ears Let Them Hear" Publishing. Writing what the 5th guy does in a concise manner makes people miss the aha moment. But you're smart and I'm pretty sure you'll get it if you read it again. Especially the only line in the whole essay that is in ALL CAPS.

![]() The 5th guy took the bricks and went out + did with them exactly what the master did with them -- enlisted (more like CHALLENGED) others to figure out the problem?
and/or he made a PONZI SCHEME out of it (?) -- something like MLM. Which IS one way to "parlay + leverage" limited incoming "riches" -- just like Madoff did. Am I close? Or are you gonna force me to THINK again? Don't *DO* that! :-) -- TW |

![]() Thanks TW. You're pretty close. Except for the negative connotations you have in your mind - aka with Madoff.
Madoff borrowed money to hide losses. And then borrowed more money to further hide losses. And then borrowed more money to hide even more losses - until it became unsustainable. Thats not the case with our story. The lesson is leverage. Leverage other people's resources. If you don't have money, leverage other people's money. If you have money, leverage other people's ideas + hardwork. There is a lesson of parlaying in it too. But a better parlaying to success story is: http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/...lip-story.html Or google for "doubling to millions" blogs and read the stories. Some awesome stories of parlaying to success. |
