"You always hear people say-if your going to start a new idea, get rid of the naysayers'. The problem being? Naysayers' can be hard people to get rid of."

My cousin Sally does not like this quote..one iota. The other day she told me this about the quote. "Know one wants to hear your Joel Osteen impression. Stick with your goofy ass stories. That's what people are liking..Come on. You've been chasing this Groupon idea, or whatever the hell it is for a few years. Why don't you give up..Already!" I answered her statement like this. "My mother used to tell me that persistence was my best attribute. The numbers for Collective Buying Power and other new marketing strategies are astronomical, the barriers to entry for these processes? Minimal. One of these days the right group of people in Las Vegas are going to realize that..And? You better watch out. I'll talk to you later." When I hung the phone up, I was angry. At times, cousin Sally can be very negative. Her version is that I'm narcissistic and don't like to be told anything negative about myself. Oh well, life go's on.
In an earlier post, I mentioned how a regular at 7-11 reminds me of 'Wonder Women'...A today's version of Wonder Women...Well, she came back into the store, and I got to take another really good look at her..WHEW..She makes her way through the line, and I wanted to ask her if she had read the blog? Well, the line was long, so I didn't have time. We exchange pleasantries, and as she is leaving? I catch a whiff of her perfume. I don't know what kind of perfume it was? I do know one thing is for sure, the smell was spellbinding.
The next person in line after 'Wonder Women? My friend Steve. He told me this. "Man alive, you weren't kidding about the beautiful women that come into this place (He's a big fan of the blog). That lady was gorgeous. I wish I had your job!" I laughed, smiled, and said. "Their are a number of women who come into my 7-11 that could stop a clock. That girl is one of them! And no you can't have my job, not now anyways. I enjoy it to much."
I'm going to end this post with something Steve Wynn said. "Being born an American is like having a winning lottery ticket compared to the rest of the world." Some people don't hold that belief true. I can guarantee you one thing..I do!!!!
