The final outcome of this story was that his boss helped him set
up the new dealership; he helped him with all the purchasing, in-
ventory, parts, service department decisions, and staffing. After two
years, his boss sold the half share back to him, so he ended up own-
ing the dealership 100 percent.
Then he said to me, “And today, I’m a millionaire.” He said,
“Six years ago I was a used car salesman, and today I am a million-
aire.” He was one of the happiest people I’ve ever met. He said if he
had not taken that advice from the seminar and begun saving his
money and getting out of debt, he would not have been in a position
to take advantage of that opportunity when it came along. He said,
“Taking your seminar probably saved me 20 years of hard work,
and maybe even a lifetime.”
This story applies to your life as well. One of the most impor-
tant actions that you can take to remain positive and optimistic is to
prepare mentally, financially, and physically in advance. Think
through what might possibly happen and make plans to prepare for
opportunities. Make plans and put aside reserves to minimize or es-
cape the consequences of a financial setback. This way of thinking,
of planning ahead in every area, is a mark of the superior individual.
