I realize this is a get your foot in the door idea. But how can you even show up at their home for $27 besides the hour you spend checking GFCI's ?
because you don't know where the money is going to come from.
god hides opportunities in plain sight, disguised as crap.
anything that can produce that large a pile of crap must be a
pretty impressive pony. look for the biggest pile.
i gave a hand to someone, for free. he'd just finished a 72 hour
5150 lockdown, after a drunk driving arrest. not his finest hour.
so at that point, he's not a pillar of the community.
he told me i should meet his uncle, who is a general contractor,
and we could all work together, and it'd be fun. he asked me
three different times to come meet his uncle... until i finally did.
nice guy. we talked, and three months later, he asked if i wanted
to bid something for him. i did. work, and referrals followed.
i looked at last year, and my gross receipts from that single source
amounted to $204,000. this year, so far, it's $377,000. probably end
up at around $450,000.
being nice to one person, with no expectation attached. $581,000.
next year, i'm going to try being nice to another person. who knows
what might happen.
