"Look," I say intently, "I'm talking about taking our combined skills and directing them towards the good of a community. I finally have that community in North Las Vegas. Now listen carefully, I am saying unequivocally a fruitful data base of twenty thousand is here, and we can have it - I need your help!" He's been half listening and mostly laughing the whole time, just like everyone else...The time to laugh is over! "Look, you are the best salesman I have ever known," I state emphatically, "Hell, I pretty much learned everything I know from you. What I am proposing is an opportunity that comes once in a lifetime. Actually, once in a lifetime is too cliche. Properly stated it's an opportunity that comes around once in every ten lifetimes."
I am fanatically convinced they're twenty thousand ready and able subscribers/users to a blog or website within walking distance of where I live in North Las Vegas (think about that statement for a moment) - I reiterate it to him forcefully, he says, "That's a bold statement." It's not bold - it's true! I share this sentiment, again, forcefully, with him, he says - "How do you make money? What would you look to sell?" I name a few immediate examples and state - "It's not the product. That's where people get confused. It's having a connected database. If you accomplish that. You can sell anything of value to it."
