“The worst people to serve are poor (broke & broke minded) people. Give them free, they think it’s a trap. Tell them it’s a small investment, they’ll say they can’t earn much.Tell them to come in big, they’ll say they have no money. Tell them to try new things, they’ll say no experience.  Tell them it’s traditional business, they say it’s too hard to do. Tell them it’s a new business model, they’ll say it’s MLM.  Tell them to run a shop, they’ll say there’s no freedom.  Tell them to run a new business, and they’ll say they have no expertise.

They do have some things in common:  They LOVE to ask Google, listen to friends who are as hopeless as them.  They think more than a university professor and do less than a blind man.”
