REMEMBER the humble paper clip? Well, that guy made millions from a simple idea like that. And you thought it will take a PhD and a worldwide network of connections to come across that kind of fortune.
Yesterday, I read a story about this smart alec in Britain who came up with the simple idea of selling a single pixel of advertisement on a computer page for $1. There are apparently one million pixel space in that small one page screen.
Guess who became a millionaire overnight? Then there was that guy who accidentally stumbled onto the use of velcro when he was actually trying to invent something else.
Today, he's smiling in Bahamas or Barbados, as the rumour goes.
Most of us are just ordinary blokes who don't happen to have an IQ of 180 so that means we are out of contention for the title of professorship at Harvard University. But it doesn't take a high education to make money. God makes sure of that.
They say some of the best things in life are free, so are ideas. You could say that I have a few but for fear of being classified as clinically insane, I am temporarily keeping them to myself.
But don't let me stop you from generating your own. One day, you may wake up with the simplest and the brightest idea on the planet. If you have an iota of practicality, you should market it and make yourself a million or so. I am sure your family and loved ones will love you for it.
Imagine all that hardwork day and night trying to make ends meet and suddenly, the skies clear up and you can see yourself walking quite confidently all the way to Chase Manhanttan Bank!
I suggest from this second on, you think of nothing but simple things that people want and need. Don't worry about them being wacky or absolutely nonsensical. The ideas are your own. People have their own opinions but they are not the ones making money - you are.
And if you are immensely successful, my charge is only $1! You can email me and I will send you a forwarding address. Ha. Ha.
The rule of the thumb is to think selflessly. Do not think of the money first, think of the millions of people you can help or are going to help. The law of the universe states that in order to gain something, you have to give it away.
Go ahead and give it away and watch it boomerang back to your bank account.
God bless you my child. Now go and make some money.
Begin small
