That's exactly how I got started in REI and I look at it like I'm planting seeds right now and will start to see the great results of my efforts in 5 years or so.

It will be my seed money for future units.

Just think of your business cards as seeds that must be planted in order to reap the harvest.Here is a list of what this type of person looks like.

The savvy marketer knows how to tap into this, agitate the problem in the mind of the reader, plant seeds of doubt (or worms in their brains) and offer something that hurts less (a 'palliative' proposition).By the way, no one wants solutions.

My friend Ed (an octogenarian) reminds me, "Any problem that you can fix with a checkbook really isn't much of a problem".From Napoleon Hill: "In every adverse event lies the seed of an equal or greater benefit".

Which should be enough to pay a good portion of college if they chose to go or some seed money into learning to invest themselves.

The answer everyone wants is 0 dollars, just hustle but I can say if you are going to do marketing you need to plan on spending 2,500-5,000 per deal in a competitive market(5,000 seed money will work if spent in efficiently) Hustle alone will not usually scale you fast enough. 

Like a new lawn, the ground needs to be prepared, and seeds need to be sown, watered and nurtured for months before you reap the rewards - same with Direct Mail. 

"herb yielding seed" you carry on your person is considered medicinal / non-criminal in your state.

We split profit up to the first 500k we make  LOL.. there you go already planting the seed if you work with us pay us your going to knock down 250k large.. that's what anyone reading that will focus on the 500k..
