210 Second Thing

I had a job that paid $75 /week. (1966!)

AND kept trying different things on the side.

It made no difference when they did not ‘work’ because they were my Second Thing.

When ordering a Pizza one Sunday night around 9 pm I was told it would be 45 minutes.

I asked why.

Because they were really backed up with Deliveries. (Their Second Thing)

If you are not satisfied with your situation you need a Second Thing.

A Part-time hourly job is simply an extension of your First thing.

(And a Lottery is an illusion.)

By the end of 1966 I tried Direct Sales as my 17th (!) Second Thing.

Within four months I earned just over $1,000. That month.

(My 16 previous efforts obviously contributed to my current speed-of-success.)

Then I gave up my First thing.

Almost by definition a Second Thing is something that is NOT whatever you do as your First thing.

It’s something with a variable in it.

Don’t give up your day job,

ADD a Second Thing to your life in total safety.
