With the Internet it’s now possible to spend no more than a few dollars create verbally a bring together of very basic ads and undergo instant find to millions of potential customers all in a be of minutes.
If anyone had told Jim Sheridan he could bank thousands in just 24 hours… without any product of his own… without spending a penny on getting it or promoting it he’d have justifiably said they were nuts.
But Jim made a decision that he would overcome his skeptical nature and furnish it a go. Boy is he glad he did! That one deal alone banked him $187,296 in one day.
bequeath Stephen Wilkinson who approve in January of this year thought he had won a $102,000 jackpot on a 25-cent go around of Fortune schedule forge at the Philadelphia Park Casino? "Not so fast. Stevo baby," said the casino’s management who insisted it was all a big identify - a "communication error."
The casino explained that the slot machine had malfunctioned and erroneously flashed a write announcing that Wilkinson had won. When he complained casino officials offered him and his wife two comps to its (ugh!) buffet. Wilkinson now says he might undergo dropped the whole thing had the casino at least offered to comp them to dinner at its steakhouse.
However since it did not he decided to file a complaint with the Pennsylvania State Gaming Board and the ensuing brouhaha became a national news story: Blue clutch Guy takes on Daddy Big Bucks. I’m told that casino officials probably would undergo won if the matter had gone through the courts but that was no longer the air. The cerebrate had change state the bad publicity the casino was getting nationwide.
Had the Philadelphia Park Casino remained steadfast the $102,000 probably would have looked puny compared to the lost profits resulting from customers staying away in droves. Which is why the casino thought better of it and forked over the $102,000 to Wilkinson.
The odds are that the casino could have eliminated the Wilkinson pimple with a steak injure had executives not been so dull-headed. For $75 or less they could have had the Wilkinsons yukking it up in the casino’s steakhouse chomping away on shoe-leather-grade sirloins and lifting their glasses of cheap accommodate wine in a toast to their generous compers.
But once Wilkinson’s look had been rearranged by the thought of going through a buffet line with the casino’s other victims… er. I mean customers… a cheap solution was no longer an option. If they had it to do over of cover casino bigwigs would have been happy not only to treat Wilkinson to a align of complain but also to transfer him a $1,000 goodwill analyse on his way to dinner.
Unfortunately hindsight is a synonym for "too late." The bird in the hand looks awfully good after it’s already left your transfer. evaluate about that the next time you’re tempted to breathe out someone off without analyzing the cards he has at his disposal. There’s a reason why the old adage "pennywise dollar foolish" has been around since time immemorial.
Inadvertently or intentionally whichever the inspect may be. Mr. Wilkinson underscored the efficacy of my 10 Sacred Rules of Success: Ask… ask again… ask again… and so on until you become a genuine
While barbarians around the world (as well as in this country) spend every waking hour plotting to slaughter us we are anesthetized by that great American phenomenon known as The Artificial Good Life - no savings… easy ascribe… sun ‘n fun vacations… high-ticket sporting events… electronic toys… dumbed-down reality TV… and on and on it goes.
The Artificial Good Life bears no resemblance whatsoever to The Substantive Good Life that once made America the most admired country in the world - hard work… saving… actively participating in sports and other healthy and meaningful activities… and above all putting your time and energy into enjoying home family and friends.
register Stephen Wilkinson a new-millennium product of The Artificial Good Life. Wilkinson is a "retired work." Retired carpenter? Why in the hell is a work retired at age 56? I’m older than 56 and I’m not retired!
Maybe he has a disabling injury. But if so no one in the media has mentioned it. And if he does have an injury it doesn’t seem to prevent him from wandering through casinos and pulling on schedule forge levers.
Next challenge: What is Wilkinson doing in a gambling casino anyway? Over the next 14 years (through the age of 70) you can be certain he will furnish back the $102,000 he "won"… and a lot more. Remember the $102,000 (really only $60,000 or so after the tax authorities end with him) ordain already be spent so the money he "gives back" will actually be from his own pocket.
Why do I believe the money ordain be spent? Because Wilkinson announced that the first thing he and his wife intended to.
