Re: All The Answers On Ebay


interesting.

Paul Burns did the "how to make $100k" didn't he. Richard is uping the ante to $200k.....lol

Seems to me that if I'm doing 100% residential (he refers to just 10 houses a month) and I do a mil in business......I'm going to make more than 20% (if I'm not including my pay). I'm thinking 25-30%.

Am I crazy to think that?

Re: All The Answers On Ebay


I guess for some guys it could work, but this is not what I want my company to be. It's just another pyramid scheme. Let's put it this way...I dont want to paint 10 houses a month....no thank you, lol

Re: All The Answers On Ebay


no, i don't make 250k a year, but I know several guys running at 20%plus when you don't consider your own pay.

Am I crazy?

Re: All The Answers On Ebay


Several years ago curiosity got the better of me and I purchased the CD for $20. It comes from Richard Burns, not Paul.

There is some useful information on it. Certainly $20 worth.

As with any information, the real value comes from implementation. Great ideas are worthless if they aren't implemented.

I don't think so.
That's someone completely unrelated.

Re: All The Answers On Ebay


I too bought that cd several years ago for about 20 bucks,i figured what the heck might learn something,there is some good info and price was right. but now @ 300 bucks a pop I dont think so.somehow i lost all info on that cd and talked to richard about replacing cd at that time he told me he was updating the program so i guess i will try to stop by their place since there down the road and get the updated version now since i forgot all about it until now and hopefully he wont try to charge me 300 bucks.
