This is a story about an entrepreneurial woman - an old friend
of mine who 19 years ago was just another soul looking for
something of her own. It all started with her first 5
customers...
"You know Kim, when I was first approached about this business,
I had been looking for something of my own for a few years
already. Back then, my husband was a carpenter, and I wanted to
do something, too. I had started an aerobics studio, a hair
salon, and then a dog grooming kennel. They all went down the
tubes, and we spent most of our savings.
"One day an acquaintance stopped by to show us a little water
filter gizmo you could put on sink, and said we could earn $30
for each one we sold. Since my husband remodeled kitchens
sometimes, and we didn't especially like our drinking water
that much, this seemed like a pretty good thing to try. We
figured I could set up appointments, and if we sold one per
week, we'd add $150 to our monthly income. That sounded good to
us. Well, you just cannot imagine our excitement when he brought
in an extra $150 that first month. Five sales!
"A few months later it got to almost $500 a month and we
thought, 'This is it! We've died and gone to heaven.' I started
setting up appointments for myself to show the units too. We
were so giddy our friends asked us what was going on. My
husband told a couple of the guys- a plumber he worked with and
another contractor, and they decided to do it too. We were just
so tickled to see a little income from some of THEIR sales, as
well...
"It's been 19 years now, and so much has happened with our
business. We've earned $15 million over these past years, and
we still find it hard to believe...
"Oh and let me tell you something, Kim. If the guy who came to
our house that first time had told us we'd be earning $10k/mo
we'd NEVER have signed up. We'd have thrown him out for taking
us for fools. We've never been much for telling big stories -
we believed a couple of hundred dollars was reasonable to
expect, and so we did it. It just grew from there. On some
days, we still can't believe it." -as told to Kim by Sue
Burdick.
Sue is very big banana in the industry today. But 19 years ago?
Many would have walked right by her in their search for a 'big
hitter.' After all, she just wanted a little something of her
own.
It all started with a few customers in her community who had
the same problem she did - the water didn't taste very good and
they all could use a little more income.
She helped them solve those problems - the way she had done for
herself.
