Hello,
My name is William Whitlow, and I own a Strip club. To quickly answer your question, YES, owning
a strip club is awesome; I love every minute of it. YES, I hang out with hot chicks all the
time. I’ve owned this strip club for
over 10 years in Flagstaff, Arizona. I
have a total monopoly, I have no competition, the nearest strip club is 200
miles away, and the University NAU is 2 blocks away on the same street. So just imagine all the talent I have working
here.
Flagstaff is a hub that millions of people travel through
every year. We’re next to the Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater, Lowell Observatory
that discovered Mars, Flintstones Bedrock City, and multiple other sights. Famous
Musicians travel through Flagstaff, on their way to Concert tour dates in
Phoenix, AZ, Las Vegas, Colorado, New Mexico, and California.
I also own a Nightclub named Cinnabar Nightclub, where we
have live entertainment twice a week. We’ve featured acts like BIZZY BONE, DJ
QUICK, KORUPT, WU TAN CLAN, DIGITAL SUMMER, MR CAPONE, MR CRIMINAL, TWISTED
INSANE (The fastest rapper in the world).
Twisted Insane and I have developed a friendship over the years, and he
recently purchased a home in Fountain Hills, Scottsdale, AZ. He purchased a Strip club in Oregon, so we
brainstorm about selling more Champagne in the V.I.P. rooms, the food, the
customer experience, etc. So yes, owning this nightclub has its perks and
benefits. We also have recent acts with videos on MTV like BREATHE CAROLINA, 32
LEAVES. I also feature world famous DJ’s like KIP KILLAGAIN, who plays here
regularly.
My club promotes theme nights like 25 Cent Drink Night,
featuring old school hip hop. We have sports, pool tables, video games, beer
pong tables, and a Jukebox. People love the place, they have a blast here.
I built a V.I.P. Shag Carpet Room. The Walls, Floors and Ceilings
are covered in Shag Carpet. There’s 2 Flat screen TV’s, one to play sports or
whatever they want, and the other one highlights the concert or DJ, in the Nightclub,
so they can see what’s going on in the club, while they’re in the Private Shag
Carpet Room. We feature very comfortable V.I.P. seating for at least 10 people.
It’s really quite amazing, and my customers love it.
The main premise of my show will be “Marketing”, my favorite
thing in business. I call it “Underground Marketing”, because I educate my fans
on what really works. I do not promote what you learn in College. If College
taught you the kind of marketing I know, they would have the right to charge
you their ridiculous tuition rates.
So let me continue on with where I disappeared to for the
last couple of years, because all my fans, and my customer database, have been
wondering “Did he die”?, “Did he move out of the country”?, Is he in Prison”?,
etc. Then I’ll give you my background, which is really crazy, and I’ll get back
to the marketing part of the show.
Again, this is the first episode, so it will be a little longer, which
is cool, because you, my audience, will get “More Content”.
I’m a single Dad with 2 beautiful kids, Tavian and
Wynter. Tavian is 7 years old, and
Wynter is 3 years old. Same mom, Same dad, and a horrible divorce. I have full
custody, and am paid child support by the mother, and she has zero rights. She’s
also on Supervised visitation through the State, whenever she re-appears. Draw
your own conclusions on how that happened. Just remember I’m a very good
person, and she isn’t, period. I’m happy as heck. I get to wake up to my 2
little miracles God gave me every day. I
get to spend as much time as I want to with my kids, every day, because I have
my own business, and make all my own rules, and I love it.
My mother teaches catholic
school, and controls the finances because she does the accounting at a local
church I attended when I was little. I had my first Holy Communion, and
Confirmation ceremonies there growing up as a catholic. By the way, I’m still
100% catholic, through and through. As a side note, the Catholic Priests that
were molesting those kids all of those years, should be executed, along with
Roman Administrators that were aware of it, and just kept moving the Priests to
new churches, trying to cover up what was going on. Anyone that molests
children needs to be executed period. Like I said, I’m 100% real, and I promise
to keep this show very real.
Yes, A Strip club owner’s mother
teaches catholic school, and controls the finances at our Catholic Church.
It’s such a cliché. I feel like
the son of the Chief of Police. Only I’m a drug dealing, car stealing, armed
robbery, black sheep prisoner.
But……What do you do? I got nothing? Just strange how the Universal
Powers work.
Now as far as my role in the
community goes, I’m head of the biggest Charity organization in Flagstaff
called, “The Sheriff’s Posse”.
Originally we used to round up
criminals back in the 80’s.
Unfortunately, one of us was killed, so we re-directed the organization
to be strictly about charity.
We run 4 big charity events a
year, and hold monthly meetings, which I run. So there’s a lot of time involved,
and I love every minute of it.
When I was younger, my mom and
brother would get assistance from the church with food. So I always make it a
point to give back. What I’ve discovered is by giving, with both time and
money, is the karma comes back 10 fold. I’ve been giving to United Way since I
was 19 years of age. It’s always been a piece of me.
Now I’ll talk to you about one of
my passions. Bodybuilding, Strength Training Performance, and Grappling,
otherwise known as Mixed Martial Arts, or MMA, have been a major part of my
life.
I’ve been into bodybuilding since
I was a kid. My cousin Randy Dominguez was a borderline Pro Football,
Scottsdale College Football Player. As long as I can remember, Randy was always
working out, and was huge. He was close to 300 Lbs. Since he was always at the gym, I had the
opportunity to meet famous bodybuilders. He brought over his roommates, that he
worked out with, quite a bit. One in particular by the name of “Vince Comeford”,
would come to my house, take his shirt off and pose for me. Vince used to let
me hit his 8 pack of abs. It was like hitting a brick wall, it was awesome, and
I loved it.
Randy basically ran Scottsdale
back in the day, and had a big influence on my bodybuilding and fitness
lifestyle.
So bottom line is, I’ve worked
out forever. Since elementary school, when my mom bought me plastic DP weights,
that you filled up with water to add weight. After I was strong enough, the
weights allowed you to empty the water out, and fill them with sand, for
heavier weights.
I also played football since 2nd
grad. It started with my Popwarner League in Scottsdale. We used to play our
football games at Scottsdale Community College. Randy also had that influence
on me, since he was a borderline pro football player.
I continued playing football, and
trained like a maniac, all through high school.
At that time, we would follow the
pro-bodybuilders routines. What the Joe Weider Muscle Magazines failed to
mention in the 80’s, was that all these routines, are for people on Steroids.
The quick story on Steroids, is they allow you to train as much as you want,
and as many hours as you want, and you will still gain muscle. Even if your
Diet sucks, you still grow. That’s the truth.
So I would train longer than I
should have. I did 3 Hour workouts 3 times a week, and 2 hour workouts, twice a
week. I would also do hard cardio, so I could perform on the field.
The body does not have the
recuperative ability to recover, and gain muscle when you train too many hours
in the day. Rule of thumb, 45 minutes to 1 hour max, and get out of the gym if
you are not taking steroids.
Until the age of 18, I trained 3
hours a day, which was way too long. I cut back to 1 ½ hours , 5 days a week, until I was 21.
My training was still too long.
At the age of 21, I cut my
training back to 45 minutes to an hour max, and I grew like crazy. I found the
missing link, quit training so damn long. I blew up, a lot. My biggest weight was
189 Lbs, at 5 foot 7, so I was pretty big. Probably about 15% fat because my
goals were different then. Just get as big as you can, and do zero cardio, eat
as much as possible, like 12 times a day. Being big is cool, don’t let anyone
lie to you.
In my mid to late twenties, I
realized I’m not going into acting. I’m not competing. What the hell am I using
this muscle for, other than just looking cool, and picking up on hot chicks.
Now since the age of 21, when I
first saw the UFC in Colorado, Karate Kid Style, with brackets and no rules, I
realized wrestlers are the ones that kick ass.
So you can imagine my
disappointment when I realized I should have been wrestling and playing
football all through school. Back when I
was younger, I thought wrestlers were fags. My best friend “Brian Leith” from
Jr. High conveyed to me, “Why do I want to roll around on a mat with a guy,
that’s gay”. And for some reason, that
stuck with me. So I never wrestled. The
sad part is we had the best wrestling team in the State. Apache Junction High School is home of the
great Mcminn Wrestlers. In my opinion, the best wrestling family in the
Country, are the Mcminn’s. The dad
wrestled, and so did his three sons, and they all dominated. Wade Mcminn
wrestled at ASU and was undefeated his whole college career.
Wade’s son ended up going to
school with my little brother, and they were good friends. My little brother
would call his house sometimes, and talk to his son. It was really cute.
Another side note is the dad,
Coach Mcminn, went through the process of manufacturing most of our Gym
Equipment, saving the school tens of thousands of dollars.
When I was 15, I attended ASU
Coach Larry Marmie Football Camp in the Summer of 1990, along with my
teammates. They had 5 different parts of
the program, so you would be in different training stations throughout the
day. On the 1st day, when it
was our turn to do weight training, I was super excited. I couldn’t wait to see ASU’s weight
room. When I arrived I was extremely
disappointed. They had about ½ the
equipment we had in Apache Junction. I was confused, and I had to ask my
coaches, what was up with their medioker gym. The coaches explained to me how
lucky we were in our weight room, because Coach Mcminn Welded, and Manufactured
a lot of our equipment. Some stuff, he actually invented. I remember this awesome
Free Weight Shrug Piece of Equipment he created, and was awesome. To this day,
I have never seen anything like it, and if it was marketed, you would make a
million dollars. A couple of examples would be “Standing Incline Bench Press”,
or “Seated Incline Press”. To this day,
I also have never seen a “Standing Incline Bench Press”. We were very lucky to
have the gym we had.
So now you can see why my
background is developed so well with Bodybuilding, and Fitness.
So back to my disappointment with
never wrestling, as I’m sitting there watching the UFC.
Somewhere around 2001, I started
searching aggressively for the right place to learn submission wrestling and fighting.
I was 27, and realized I wasn’t going into pro-bodybuilding. For some reason, I
guess competing on stage, at that time, wasn’t what I was looking for, even if
I wasn’t the biggest, I still could of competed in my weight class, but I was
more attracted to fighting.
After some serious searching, I
just couldn’t find the right place. None
of them had what I was looking for.
So one day I was on Vacation in
Rocky Point, Mexico. I was shredded to
the bone. I always leaned out like I was going to a bodybuilding contest before
every vacation. It’s pretty hilarious,
but what can I say, chicks love it, bottom line, and I want to look my best
when I’m on vacation.
I was in a club called “The
Cadillac”, and was pretty buzzed. Everyone runs around in their bathing suit,
day or night. I was in shorts and Flip
Flops, no shirt. I saw a security guard
that looked familiar. I walked up to him
and asked if his name was Ike. He looked at me in shock and said “William”? It
turned out he is my Brother’s, Godmother’s, Son. And we hadn’t seen each other
in over 10 years.
Ike ended up playing College
Ball, and even won a trip to Hawaii to play a pro bowl all-star game.
We got to talking and it turned
out he was training submission fighting under one of the best fighters in the
world. He gave me his coach’s card.
When I got back to Phoenix I
called the instructor Jeff Funicello, and discovered he taught American
Pankration which was a fighting art created in the Roman Days. Now Jeff and his
brothers were taught American Pankration since they were kids. It mixes
together Greco Roman Wrestling, submission moves exactly like Jiu-Jitsu,
Muai-Thai, and Boing. My coach is also a
Greco Roman Champion, and is one of the top 10 to go to the world competitions
every year. Every four years they include the world competition wrestling in
the Olympics. Basically his team is related to “Team Quest”, because Dan
Henderson is his good friend, who wrestled with him at ASU. Jeff has also
trained with Randy Couture, Matt Linland, and Heath Simms, and these people
come train with my coaches classes on occasion. Dan Henderson showed me an
awesome cholke. I use it as my secret move when me and an opponent are stale
mating. I finish them with this move.
It’s awesome.
So yes, I’ve done lots of
grappling, traveled to competitions, and I had a blast doing it all.
I had to stop shortly before I
had my kid. I’ve stepped back into practice here and again until a few months
ago, when I started grappling consistently here in Flagstaff. Last week my
coach offered me a Certified Instructor Title, which he only gives out every
few years. So i’m going to take the offer, and continue my grappling. Heck,
maybe I’ll take a couple of fights, ya never know, I’m still young.
So in my show, you’ll be getting
some of my opinions on fighters, nutrition, for free. Just a small part of the show will add
something fun.
Stupid things people do. I’ll
probably have a story or two about something I saw, or read about, where people
do stupid things for god knows what reason, and it’s hilarious, so I’m going to
put it in my show, something else to make you laugh.
Marketing, yes, this is my
favorite part of the show. I’ll be teaching you business owners about real
marketing. The stuff that works.
How do I know so much about
marketing?
I started learning in 2005,
studying some of the underground marketers on line, and off line businesses. I
learned from Marketers that use Direct Mail, Internet advertising, and every
other type of marketing that works. I paid $50 to $100 monthly fees to 4
different marketers that are masters at what they do.
Since I was still working at
Chase Bank at the time, I implemented some of the strategies to work my leads
at the bank, and let the Bank fund it all. It was sweet.
Now at the same time I also owned
both of my bars, so I started testing marketing here too.
So do I have a little experience?
Uh, yes!
I’m going to show people things
I’ve tested online, offline, even telephone voice blasts. Real Marketing, Real
Testing, Real Results.
I’m also going to disclose to you
what it’s like running 2 businesses. All the trials and tribulations I go
through. They literally are 2 completely different businesses. Cinnabar
Nightcub has Sports, Live Bands, DJ’s, Food, Specials, NTN Trivia, Video Games,
Happy Hour, Texas Hold Em Poker 3X a week.
Blush Cabaret is a completely
different kind of business. Everyone wears a tie, cocktail fixed up in a
corset, cover charge every day until we close, no exceptions. Then the $500
Champagne room, $150 Champagne room, higher drink prices, no-touching for the
strippers, DJ Music Format, certain types of music played.
The marketing is completely
different too. One is adult. There’s a lot of stuff you can’t do when you want
to advertise an adult business.
That part of the show will be
fun. To see behind closed doors what it’s like to own a nightclub.
Lots of Bonuses:
1 1) Famous
people or semi famous musicians when they play at my bar
2 2) Business
owners, interviewed live, and their marketing techniques and secrets
3 3) Seminars.
When I travel to one, who I met, what I learned, the latest tools in the market
My Banking career started at the
ripe age of 19, and retired at the age of 35.
So the year would have been 1993-2008, so I guess you could say I know a
thing or two about Banking, and the Financial World. I was there for a Hostile
take-over, There for multiple mergers, there for the original corporate
downsizing when they called it streamlining, where they walked up to you
sitting at your desk, tapped you on the shoulder, and handed you a box to pack
your things, and were walked out the door. I was there for the Scandals, CEO’s
stepping down, then mysteriously the IRS is up the X CEO’s ass sideways.
Hmmmmmmmnnnnnnnn Shananigans. I was there from beginning to end of all the
mortgage shananigans that went down. I
know who messed up, and who deserved to lose it all, and which banks are left
standing, and I’ve been saying it from day 1.
So you’ll get awesome tidbits,
and stories of when I was in the banking industry, and trust me, I have a lot
of them. I know old school corporate
world, I know new school corporate world, and I’m going to teach you a lot.
I want to educate America on what
I’ve been through working for 2 of the Biggest Giant Corporations in the World.
Products, Yes, I’ll be reviewing
some of the products out there. Ones that will either help you with your
marketing efforts, or information products I find valuable, and I’ll give you a
complete explanation of what it is, and how it will help you.
Now, very important, I’m sure
you’ve met lots of people that are really motivated, and want to start making
money doing something. Then they lose their motivation, and don’t do anything.
I don’t want that to happen to you, if you decide to take the bull by the
horns, and get started. So many people buy products and they just sit there on
the shelf. It’s a sin. Don’t do that.
Most of these products will be
from the expert underground marketers that I’ve either studied under, or am in
direct affiliation with. So this is nice, because you’ll be exposed to my
network of successful on line and off line businesses.
Now back to marketing. I wanted
to let everyone know that I‘ve been
involved in MLM, Multi Level Marketing since the age of 21, in 1995. I started with Primeria Financial, Imitation
Perfumes, Travel Dynamics Magnets, Vacation Timeshares, Xango, and now Send Out
Cards.
I’ve been involved with six
different companies since the age of 21. I can honestly say, Xango, and Send
Out Cards, are the companies I remained consistent with, and became successful
with.
What I discovered was that all
the really rich, wealthy, successful people were involved in a MLM. This is
where they received some of their Marketing experience. Hello? The name of the profession
is Multi-Level MARKETING!
All you people out there that
think Multi-Level Marketing is a scam, or you can’t make any money at it, or
MLMers are a bunch of weird plastic people, like in the movie Pleasantville,
and we’re all fake, etc. You need to put
the CRACK PIPE DOWN!
I was mentored by some of the
most successful online and offline marketers in the Nation.
When I first started it sucked.
You had 2 options. Take someone to a meeting, or sit down with them and do a 1
o 1 sale. It sucked. But it was good training. Like 1 on 1 training.
I had to do a lot of cold phone
calls, it sucked, but I did it.
I attended meetings, seminars,
home parties, and evolved to handing out CD’s,DVD’s, internet presentations,
and other technical presentations.
I even tested my Direct Mail
Marketing with MLM. That’ right, I would take some of my monthly profits, and
put them back into a US Mail Campaign, and test Direct Mail. Yeah, I know, I’m
crazy.
The people I had prospected were
no screwballs. I recruited the CFO of Checker Auto Parts, The Head Of Security
administration at US Airways who sits on The Board Of Directors, Credit Card
Company business owner, Children’s Birthday Party character business owner,
Owner of the #1 Limo Company in Arizona, Real Estate Broker business owners,
etc, etc, etc, the list goes on and on.
The bottom line is MLM works, I’m
in it, I do it, even though I own 2 other businesses.
I simply tell them….. “I want my checking account stuffed so full
of money, it can’t hold any more cash.”
It’s the truth. I make money. I
love people that are in MLM. I love the events, I love the positivity, I love
the people that are motivated.
I compare MLM to high school peer
pressure. If we had that high school social credibility pressure with us all
the time, we’d all be rich.
I remember comparing clothes,
cars or trucks, quads, motorcycles, working out with weights in the gym
comparing bodies, hair styles, zits, smell, attitude, it all mattered, and you
know it.
By constantly surrounding myself
with these people, I continue to grow, I continue to excel and make more money.
It works. So if you’re sitting on the couch doing nothing, Get In! Then you get
to hang out with me and the leaders making money.
So again, if you want more info
on MLM, I will have another show, based strictly on MLM, training, recruiting,
etc.
Now this brings us to, THE BIG
QUESTION??
WHERE HAS WILLIAM WHITLOW BEEN??
This question has to be answered
because it’s just not right for me to build a fan base, and have a list of
people that want my advice, they want to know which products are best, and they
want to know why the hell am I NOT working my MLM business??
Well it all started a couple of
years back when I wasn’t allowed to use the telephone, I wasn’t allowed to
text, I wasn’t allowed to use the internet, I wasn’t allowed to use anything
that connected me with the outside world.
My X-Wife would not allow it.
Then my X-wife was pregnant with
our 2nd kid, so I had to concentrate on that.
Then, 4 months after my daughter
was born, my wife left me. She moved out in front of me, my 4 year old son, and
4 month old daughter, while a Cop watched her move out of our home.
She actually called a cop as a
civil standby, so she could move out all of her things.
She tried to steal my business
through the courts, but she didn’t realize “The Attorney General Of Arizona”
was my business partner. In addition, It’s a Corporation, with me as the CEO,
President, Secretary, and Treasurer.
I was not able to come to my
business for 5 weeks, while she was in control of everything.
When I returned to my business,
there was no money left. She stole over $10,000. There was nothing left in the
bar either. The stereos, vending machines, TV’s, computers, phones, you name
it, she stole it, all before the courts realized they made a huge mistake, and
put me back in control of my business.
I asked my attoney, “what’s the
proper protocall when a Judge is faced with this dilemma” My attorney said,
“they’re supposed to call you in, and not put you out in the street like that”.
Another thing that happened was
my Adult License was up for renewal, and I fell slightly behind 3 months on
taxes, and they almost revoked my City Strip Club License.
I was in a position where I
needed to come up with 5 grand cash, in 2 days, or lose it all.
I found it.
Now the divorce took a full
year. So you can imagine the time that
took, and I had both kids twenty four hours a day, 7 days a week, the whole
time. She didn’t help with anything. She was out, on a drug binge, for over 2
years straight.
December 2011, one day after
Christmas, I slipped and landed on the back of my head, and was in a coma for 2
Days.
I was not allowed to come back to
my business for 4 months. My manager and the girl I was dating ran my bar for 4
months.
In the middle of my 4 month
healing time, my grandma passed away. My grandma means everything to me. She
was a major part of my upbringing, like another mom, we were very close. So
basically, my life ended as far as I was concerned.
Here I am trying to heal a Brain
injury. With the drama of losing my grandmother, it slowed the healing time.
There was a major family
disagreement at the funeral, and as a result, I stopped talking to my family.
My Grandma and Grandpa were
basically like the King and Queen of our family. When they passed away, it
appears my family lost their roots, and heritage we were raised on. I
personally feel like they’re a bunch of idiots. A funeral is a time for
mourning.
Unfortunately, the 3 sisters,
left behind, were left to think for themselves, and they’d been doing it for a
few years now, because my Grandpa passed away a few years ago. Some people need
guidance, or they make really, really stupid decisions. That’s all they’ve been
doing since my Grandpa passed, and when Grandma passed, it was free reign to
run a muck.
So my family is cut off for now,
and it’s me and my 2 children, against the world.
A month after the funeral, at the
end of march, I was forced to come back to my business, because it was losing
so much money.
I was telling my Manager and
Girlfriend to pay the rent, and their exact words were, “what money”.
There wasn’t any money, and almost
no liquor left to sell.
I don’ t know exactly what went
wrong, but I’ve been running this business for 10 years, and for the previous
few months, numbers were dwindling.
A simple explanation of what
happened is this. I wasn’t there. It was free reign to steal as much money and
as much liquor as you could. And that’s exactly what happened. The numbers
don’t drop like that for no reason, even if it is a crumby economy like 2011
was.
I had to save them. I wasn’t
supposed to come back to this environment, because my brain hadn’t completely
healed yet.
The reason why you can’t drive,
or work, or even watch stressful TV shows is this. Your brain only has so much
recuperative ability per day.
If your brain is constantly
spinning, over and over again, there’s little to no recuperative ability left.
So it took longer to heal, but I
didn’t have a choice. Go back to running
my bar or I can’t put food on the table.
In May, the Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms, “The ATF” raided my bar, during a busy Saturday Night. This is my
prime time, money making night.
As expected, all of my customers
left. I lost my ass from some stupid call someone made, trying to be
vindictive, and tipped off the ATF that I was doing something illegal. Well I
wasn’t, but it took a raid to see that.
Now in July, I re-started my Jeep
Cherokee that had been sitting since I was hurt. Well, the engine had a small
oil leak I didn’t know about. The engine seized the first time I moved the
vehicle in six months. So now I own 2 businesses, and no vehicle to get around
town. So my girlfriend has to give me a ride everywhere, in her little Kia.
Again, running 2 businesses
fulltime, 2 kids fulltime, no car.
Now during this whole year, I’ve
had the power, water, phone, everything shut off on me multiple times. The ice machine
broke, the beer cooler broke, the heater broke, the roof sprung a leak I
couldn’t fix for 2 months, and someone threw a boulder through my giant windows
on the front of my nightclub. It sucked. I put out so many fires every day, it
wasn’t even funny.
All this was happening, while my
brain was healing.
I stayed positive, ate right,
trained in the gym, and I slowly got through it. One day at a time.
I had to completely Reorganize,
Rebuild, and Re-Structure my life.
I thank God every day, for
getting me through the worst 2 years of my life.
Part of the Restructuring and
Reorganizing my life, was to make sure I help people with my skills in
Business, Marketing, Internet, Phone, and even building relationships. I want
to be able to give back to my fellow man, that may need help through this
depression.
My grandpa taught me a lot about
the great depression he lived through. He told me they ate beans and bread
every day. I remember his lessons like it was yesterday.
A couple of years ago, I started
seeing businesses go under like crazy. The saddest one was “The Chocolate
Factory”, here in Flagstaff, Arizona. It
was owned by a nice husband and wife couple.
They made the most Delicious Chocolate.
Every kind of chocolate you could think of, it was great.
Well, a friend of mine relayed to
me that he went to “The Chocolate Factory” to surprise his girlfriend, and it
was out of business. I looked at him in
shock! What do you mean, they’re out of business? I drove down to the store,
and there was a note on the front of the building that read: “We’ve tried, but
after months with the economy, we can’t afford to keep our doors open. They wished every one the best, said they
loved everyone, and goodbye.
It almost made me cry. This
business had been in town longer than my 11 years with my business. I felt bad
that no one was there to help them. Then I quickly realized, unfortunately,
that’s the way it is for a lot of people. It doesn’t matter if you have a
business or a job, people can only afford to help themselves. The economy is
that bad.
Cities and State Tax IRS collector
employees, are making personal visits to peoples businesses, knocking on their
doors for the monthly state and city taxes.
How do I know this?
They did it to me when I fell a
little behind. I asked the IRS collectors, have you ever had to do this before
in your career? He said no. He’s been at a desk for the last 20 years. The
economy is so bad, 80% of his time is now in the field. He taught me a lot. I
developed a pretty good relationship with the tax collectors. His name was
Galen Hardin. A really great guy.
So again, I’m not saying people
are evil, and the depression is turning them into demons out for themselves.
NO…….
What I’m saying is it’s hard
enough just to get by right now, and you don’t have the time or money to help
others.
The most horrible year 2011 fed
over a little into 2012, but we’re starting to see some light in the economy.
So it won’t last too much longer.
I understand people are trying to
get out of the hole, the economy put them in.
Let’s start with Step 1. Step 1
is the people that are out there, who have the ability to help others, do
so. Those that can’t, it’s no biggie.
Just take care of yours, take care of yourself and family, and down the road
when you’re able to help out, give to charity with time, money, whatever. And little by little, this economy will fix
itself.
