Here’s a little ditty we can all learn from:
When I moved out of The Burgle and back to the coast in Bandon a couple weeks ago, I had the car packed up as much as possible. And, that entire day I kept noticing my car doors wouldn’t lock. I’d push the button to lock them, then they’d suddenly unlock on their own again. The only way I could lock them was by using my car’s remote to lock them. Later that day, after I moved all my business stuff into my downtown Bandon office, my dad and step mom came to say hi (they live in the same town). They wanted a ride back home, so I told ‘em to hop in, and I moved my backpack and a couple other things in the trunk to make room.
Then, I noticed my trunk wouldn’t close.
I’d slam it shut and it’d unlatch itself.
Over and over.
It was driving me nutzo.
First the car wouldn’t lock then the trunk wouldn’t close.
Was there an electrical problem in the car?
Was something amiss?
I didn’t know — but I slowly drove back with the trunk ajar.
The next morning I decide to Google it.
I looked up my car’s exact make and model and typed in “trunk won’t close.”
Well, it turns out elBenbo’s car is smarter than he is.
The reason it wouldn’t lock was because you can’t lock my car if the keys are inside. And, my extra remote was inside my backpack in the back seat. And, later, when I tossed the backpack in the trunk, it was in there, and you can’t close the trunk, either, if the keys are inside.
Doh!
Anyway, the point of all this?
It reminds me of a quote from the book “Obvious Adams”:
“The solution, when found, will be obvious.”
And, guess what?
In the November “Email Players” issue I show you a very “obvious” way (that hardly anyone does anymore, in fact I rarely see anyone doing it) to create near instant cash flow for your business using one little email.
(Yes, I even hand you a template for that, too, to make it even easier.)
