My best sales day ever started with a flat tire and a guy paying me in ones
Last Tuesday my car died outside a bakery in Dayton and a contractor bought $1,300 of my leftover tile scraps while I waited for a tow, all in crumpled ones from his truck. Does anyone else's best money day show up on their worst morning?
Back in 2019 I blew a radiator hose on I-70 near Vandalia and sat in a Speedway lot for three hours. While I was waiting I started texting pics of my scrap copper pile to a guy I'd been putting off for weeks. He showed up in a work van before the tow even got there and handed me $800 cash. Turns out he was heading to a job ten minutes away and the delay was the only reason he could swing by. Best thing I did was keep my phone busy instead of just fuming at the truck. Sometimes the dead time is the whole point.
