2009, April, shortly after easter.
I was 22 years old.
I just landed in Rome to start
working in airport security.
I walked around the block and entered Piazza Trilussa In Trastevere district, for me, it was the most special in town.
Sitting on the steps of the fountain and
licking Vanilla flavoured ice cream
with crunchy chocolate explosions.
I see a big guy of African descent male
in front of me selling imitations of branded
handbags the most famous brands in the market.
Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and similar....
The bags are on a red, rectangular blanket.
The guy looks very scared, continually looking
around the corner, he seemed apprehensive
from something.
Suddenly!
He found exactly what he was looking for.
He grabs his blanket at two opposite ends,
fold it in less than 3 seconds with all the bags
inside, puts it on the shoulder, and starts running
away.
A run that would not embarrass Yossain Bolt in
the 100 final meters in the Olympics.
And after he's gone in the dark?
I understood what he was running away from.
A pair of Italian police officers in an exaggerated
tight uniform going into the piazza, also licking ice
cream, looking for the next victim to go into custody.
Most of the tourists sitting next to me on
the piazza stairs, start laughing at the
African guy and even bet among themselves
if he manages to sell a bag day or not.
But this African guy?
Probably much more advanced than
them at least when it comes to acting
like an entrepreneur.
Do you understand...
Most people will always aspire to stay
in a convenient and familiar area.
Whether it is...
Staying at work as employees, telling
stories they want to change and deserve
more for their hard work.
Or whether it is...
After seeing success online, switch to protection mod for maintaining the existing, and not continue to attack to open more parallel profit channels.
The African guy understands something
most people don't understand.
Whether he will sell a bag today or not
depends on the place, he is at, in terms of:
1. The amount of traffic containing the avatar.
2. The number of offers in the Piazza.
The number of people who can be interested
in what he has to offer is pretty clear.
But the number of offers in the Piazza?
Divided into the number of offers from his
competitors in the Piazza.
I hope you know this...
But also something you may not have noticed...
To the number of offers he has in the red blanket.
And here is a relevant law that works even
better online than offline!
Your income is proportional to
the number of offers you have.
Now, you don't understand this law until
you release enough offers to the world,
some of which you fall, and some you
knock a home run, and only then you
get the aha moment.
So if you disagree with this law, you haven't
released enough suggestions to date :)
Here is to your breakthrough

P.S
Answer in private...
How many offers do you have today?
Maybe I can throw you one critical piece of advice
to double your bids (and revenue)...
Without having to fold the red blanket
of yours and flee to darkness, when you realize you haven't achieved enough income while you had a chance to do this.
Skeptics...
Of course, you will stay in the spot, and out of the game.
