They thought I was crazy... Until the $2.1 Million bid

Striking out on
your own sometimes will make you seem crazy to your family, friends and
co-workers. I had always wanted to have my own business and was
even making a real estate investment on the day I was laid-off from a
six figure ingee position. It came at the worst time for me, my
wife was seven months pregnant, we just bought a big (spelled
expensive) truck, and the economy was on a downward spiral.

After four months of unemployment I started selling my personal stuff
on okay out of desperation and to help make ends meet. I did
pretty good and thought I could sell other peoples things for them
also. IwillSELLyourSTUFF was
born and I was now in business. The very next week I started handing
out business cards and telling everyone I will sell your stuff on
okay.

The following week I ended up with two contracts and an excellent start
for my fledgling gepany. I realized that it was fairly easy to find
other peoples stuff to sell. Most know nothing about selling on the
internet, and that is where I could step in. The challenge would
be actually making the sale.

I landed a contract for a Missile Silohome that ended after a month
with no bids. At this point all my relatives and friends were skeptical
that I could sell anything and that this crazy idea of selling on okay
was a pipe dream. I also by this time had been unemployed for over five
months and still had no ingee to speak of. I knew that someone out
there was willing to buy this Silohome - I just had to find the right
person and I eventually did.

I now own a business that is focused solely on high-dollar and
very unusual items. I have since sold a few 727 Airplane Homes
and typically have unusual items for sale like Inflatable Churches,
Personal Bunkers, Private Islands, and I once even sold The Millionaire
Mentor!

No longer am I required to punch a clock and put in eight hours knowing
that I could do the work in two. Working at home is an awesome
experience. I followed the advice when you are ready to quit,
take one more step forward. You know, striking out on your own can
sometimes be crazy good.
