People need food and repairs/upgrades to homes:
1. Knew a guy that rented a storefront, running a Deli; great place to eat but it was a tough business and not a way to get rich. He bought a box trailer (20FT long?), ordered a pizza oven from Italy, had a mason install in the trailer (opening on the side); bought installed other equipment (SS refrigerated thingy to hold the cut veggies and meat); used a Honda portable generator for power (very quiet- $1,000). Bought a 1/4 acre plot of land on a busy state road; got all the state/city/town approvals and started business – cash business – very profitable – very!!!
Bought and set up two more trailers; web site; trained and paid others to work other rented sites. Ca-Ching. Important – this was New Haven style pizza (thin crust – Wood-Fired ovens). Also did weddings, parties, etc.
He sold 2 of trailers, bought another home (wife ans 4 young kids), opened a rented storefront in a busy stretch in Groton Ct. and the cash rolls in. http://www.therollingtomato.com/
His mother (divorced) lives in their original home basically rent-free.
2. Become experienced doing many types of home repairs; once you become known for doing quality work at a decent price, over time you will get more work than you can handle.

First off you need to work for yourself.
Second you have to like to do what ever the business is.
Third the business needs to have a ‘second sale’. For instance lawn mowing.
Fourth it can be expanded by hiring employees.
An example of a business that doesn’t have a ‘second sale’ – fences. I had a friend who wanted to be in the fence business. Problem was he was deluged with requests for quotes. He spends his time to convince the homeowner that he can do a good job, be trusted, etc, etc. But when he’s done with the job – that customer isn’t likely to buy a new fence in the near or even distance future.

Llpoh had a great comment a week or two back. Many small businesses are doomed before they start. They just aren’t viable to begin with. Learning how to model businesses ahead of time is very helpful, used to be taught in business school. “Passion” is no substitute for numbers that work.

Fraud. But its got to be huge. And you cant defraud other fraudsters because there are laws against that. Use ill gotten gains to open a bank. Defraud said bank. Keep money. Have public pay bank back. Use ill gotten gains to lobby to be allowed to repeat process on larger scale.
This proven formula can work for anyone who is even mildly psychopathic and has no sense of guilt or right and wrong.

How To Get Rich, University / Research Version:
(1) Read study solicitations from Govt.
(2) Bid on several studies; win one
(3) Having overpriced said study, skim excess. Perform study and reach pre-determined conclusion(s).
(4) Find some tiny, insignificant aspect of study that “needs more study”. Solicit extension / expansion of study.
(5) If (4) unsuccessful or finally runs down (nothing left to expand to), repeat. Win new study.

Don’t waste your time trying to do things that don’t need to be done.
Find something someone needs done and do it while figuring out how to make a profit from it.
And don’t waste time looking for easy money, it it was easy someone else would have already beaten you to it.

I hear cocaine has a nice profit margin…
Seriously though, I have gleaned only a few recommendations for getting rich:
1.) You can’t get rich being sole proprietor, you need to be a manager of others who actually do the work and take your piece of the action. You need to focus on strategy and business development.
2.) Create multiple income streams that do not need much ongoing work on your part (e.g., write a book, set up an e-commerce website, purchase rental properties and hire a good property manager, etc.)
Of course, I have done neither of these things, because like most, I tend toward the easy path and that has meant Fortune 500 corporate HR roles for me. I am now working my 15th job since graduating grad school in the early 90’s.

My idea is an apparatus resembling the old wax lips candy, it would be to provide a defined buttcheek separation for lardasses that still want to flaunt that manly ass without resorting to padded panties.
