There is a chance to get your very own version of this classic book from Ted Nicholas!

There are a few highlights from the book.

How to start with little or no money. I started with a $90 one-inch classified ad. I will show you the ad and explain why it worked.

It is easier to run a scrupulously honest and fair business than it is to run one that is on the edge.

All other ventures are a nightmare compared to mail order.

Success in direct marketing is not a given. Doing the right things in the correct order is what it is.

Work for yourself. Making money in mail order is a gift. You are not trying to make someone rich. You keep all that you make.

You can easily earn 20 times your current income for no more work than you do right now.

There is a well-kept secret here. It’s as bad to make money in other businesses as it is to work for someone else.

In your spare time, you can start a direct mail/mail order operation with just one person.

Don’t work with employees completely. It is a pain in the neck to have a staff with talents of some very good people. You can run your operation on a laptop computer.

Don’t have an office completely. This helps keep your expenses low. Your company is on the move. Imagine being able to fatten your bank account while relaxing at the beach, sunbathing next to your pool, or on the golf course.

It’s a good idea to avoid face-to-face customer contact with nearly all other businesses. It can be difficult to face people you don’t know.

Be comfortable. If you like, you can sit around in your underwear or robe while you answer the phone and your customers won’t know.

Keeping customer complaints to a bare minimum is the secret.

Even if you don’t have any expertise, you can still make your business profitable.

There is a way to coordinate your company so that it can run on autopilot.

To travel the world, you have to be free. The secret is to use a telephone line, a post office and a computer.

You can arrange with a fulfillment house to take your orders, bank your money and ship your products. Pick up the money when they transfer it to you.
