Ever wanted to own a special piece of New York City?
One of the huge lies spread about the recession is that no one is buying anymore. Well, maybe I'll believe it if you've had literally no customers walk through your door recently. And in that case, I urge you to leave the South
Pole for a more convenient location.
The truth is... people are buying! If you're offering something people want and creating enough value in exchange for their hard earned money... consumers will buy it.
If you want proof, you only have to look at this clever guy in New York. Justin Gignac is living and profiting in one of the worst hit cities of the economic disaster. And how's he doing it?
He's selling garbage! www.nycgarbage.com
Yes, you heard me correctly. He's selling garbage... in a box... for US$50. And it's not even a big box!
Business is even going so well he's launched a new line of "specialty garbage" for US$100.
Now, honestly... if this guy can sell a little box of garbage for NZ$75 to $150... can't you make your business more successful right now too? Imagine if you actually sold something people needed... or even desired.
And the next time you want to complain about your industry being hard hit by the recession. Just remember it's nothing compared to the "selling a box of garbage" industry... and that's apparently thriving.
What you do next
Stop complaining and start focusing on selling stuff... and suddenly all your recession worries will simply disappear...
