With the divorce now behind me I feel like a horse running back as fast as they can to the barn. Blessed and cursed with getting to keep my home. I now actually have the opportunity to make money.
How? Sell my furniture? Rent out my barn? But the best surprise came by a phone call. Thinking it surely was another client that desperately needed attention. I no longer felt guilty or remorse. I had no responsibility to a job that no longer existed. As for Nick I had no idea what he was doing for money and at this point I had to move forward.
However, the phone call was not for Nick. It was for the Property Owner who happened to be me! Can you see my grin? It was an auto dealer who had driven by my property and saw the large field at the bottom of the house on the hill. They were interested in parking their over supply of cars in the field. They would pay.
PAY!!!!?
The next day one of the representatives drove a car out into my field right up to where I was standing in my rubber boots. (The field can get muddy and it is bumby not like a manicure lawn.)
Well, Mame. I appreciate your call back. A heavy set mustached man with a gray suit was looking at the bottom of his shoe, while talking to me and stated that the field would not work for the amount of cars they wanted to park.
Ok. I said nodding. Immeadiatly I went back to the house got on Craig’s List and put in and ad. I got a call that evening. Can you see my grin is showing all my teeth. YES!
Now i just had to figure out how much to charge. The call was from a woman who had a horse trailer and i was to meet her down in the field at 8am. I looked at other parking ads and saw a variety of prices. So i decided on $54 a month. When she arrived she was friendly and willing to pay but I realized (not really much of a mathematician) as we already know, but if I dropped the price to $55.00 if she gave me 3 months up front that would be a whopping $165 RIGHT NOW.
She said YES. So, I realized I had a real deal here.
