Time To Sell That vehicle To The Junkyard!
Car dealership: When you want to change a specific automotive part of your vehicle, say the car’s door handle, visit the car dealership first, from where you have bought the car. The dealer may have the required part in store, which may save time of searching somewhere else.
If you like it, keep repeating the process. Do not take your profit and move up to a more expensive vehicle until you have done about 10. The next step before that would be taking the profit from 3 or 4, and doing multiple cars at once. This will give you a small taste for juggling multiple house projects at one time. After doing this enough times, and if you still find you enjoy it, save enough of your profits to buy your first real estate flip. I recommend doing at least 20% down if not more. The more you put down, the bigger the cushion if you have to cut you losses. Remember any money is ever invest is 100% lost until it puts money back in your pocket.
Mark Barnard and I were talking about a new account we are coaching and training. We were talking about the new client’s database, lead generation practices, follow-up and organization. Mark described it as a “Lead Generation junkyard”. The client’s database consisted of a disorganized mess; a collection of leads with no priority assigned, follow-up dates or source noted. Yet, it is a large database of leads. Even Linder’s was quite organized and I’m sure that’s why, at least at one point, they were the biggest in the world.
Answer: Well, there are a couple of reasons that junkyards might want to by your junk car. Although your junk car does not run and most likely, wouldn’t be worth fixing, it still has some working parts and plenty of metal! junkyards in louisville kentucky make their living by taking junk cars and selling the working parts. Once the working parts are sold, the metal in the body and non working parts of the engine will be sold for scrap. All of which can turn a profit!
Try a used model. Like cars, people often trade in perfectly good models for the latest and greatest. Take advantage of someone else’s upgrade by purchasing their used model. But, just like you wouldn’t buy a used car from a junk yard, or a fixer upper for a 16 year old girl with no mechanical inclination, be careful to purchase used models that have already been refurbished or at least looked over by a professional. Thrift store or garage sale varieties can often be much more trouble than they are worth.
Of course the down side to buying a used car is that you do not know how it was treated by its previous owner, nor do you know its history as far as accidents or mechanical problems. A mechanic can certainly tell you if the car has had or still has issues, but a vehicle that has been wrecked can also become a headache.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
