We are All Vendors!

We tickled you with a promise or two, and a good recipe, so I would say it is time to get down to brass tacks.  For some of you, the first few blogs may be fundamental info, but if I have learned anything in my 66 years, it is

q     It's never too late to learn something new, and

q     Rust never sleeps. 

For us old timers in vending, today’s blog will seem elementary, but some times back to basics is not such a bad idea.

First, just what is vending all about? 

Every product sold in the world today originally started, thousands of years ago with someone, selling it on the road side, in the front of their house, a cave or wherever the case may be.

Vending is the true incubator for all economies in the world today. 

America’s entire economy today depends solely on vending.  We are no longer the world supplier of steel, coal, oil, machinery, ships, cars, or anything else.  We are a country of vendors and we vend to each other.  Jack the plumber down the street vends his service, and the most famous of all is Wal-Mart – just a vendor on a mega scale.

There are thousands of sites on the internet, and hundreds of ads on TV and radio about work from home opportunities.  Most, in my opinion are just scams.  The only ones that seem to be making money are those vending the scams.  The true "work from home opportunity" is vending.

This very country was founded on you, the vendor, and it is time to get back to basics!  Every single one of us has an item to vend or is capable of creating an item and selling a product of value to others who need it.  Sometimes they don’t need it but ‘want it’!  

• Do you sew, make great pies, or boil a hot dog? 
• Do you have a small table and a chair? 
• Can you afford a box or two of vegetables and/or fruit? 

Our history is filled with people just like you who started with no more. 

• Pappa John’s Pizza started with a guy who sold his car for $1,500.  He gave his parents $1,000 of it and started vending pizza with the other $500 from a broom closet. (Incidentally he recently bought back that same Camero for $250,000.)  
• McDonald’s started when Ray Crock was trying to vend malt machines.

Vending is the

• most satisfying
• most fun
• most independent
• most freedom producing
• hardest work you will ever do
