Speaking of opportunity, I heard Dan Miller, author of 48 Days to the Work You Love and No More Mondays on Dave Ramsey’s show today. He told the story of a woman whose husband left her with four kids. Even though she had few marketable job skills, she had the only two things she really needed to put food on the table – motivation and willingness to work.
At Dan’s suggestion, she bought a squeegee and bucket at WalMart, and then began walking up and down Nolensville Road here in Nashville, offering to wash storefront windows. She is now making $40 – $50 an hour, and has two of her kids working with her.
It’s not what most people would want to do for a living, especially in this 95-degree heat, but that’s exactly why she’s doing so well – no competition.
Great inspiration to those who don’t have any. Always thanks for sharing bits of info to encourage us all!
Good for her – she’ll go far and what a great example for her kids?
