These past 2 days this correspondent followed the outline in Episode 77 of the old Antipreneur podcast, bought $30 in doo-bags, a pooper scooper, plastic gloves, then a $40 business license and a $150 list of 1000 pet product buyers. Today I went door-to-door in a middle to upper middle class neighborhood with my assistant, Lieutenant Yang of the South Carolina State Guard, tried out different approaches, and got about 50 rejections but finally 1 person who gave a very excited "How much do you charge?!?", she turned out to have about 20 pounds of decaying dog waste in her yard so was very happy to hear the offer.
I followed the outline Ben gave and it worked very well, just inefficient to cold-call door-to-door. This next week I will test out the mailing list with a postcard campaign. I also used a principle that Dan Gallapoo mentioned in a post he did about street level entrepreneurship, offering a "Happy as Hamcakes!" guarantee, if they're not "Happy as Hamcakes" they don't have to pay a cent, and asking the client which day ("the 14th or the 16th?") she would like to be scheduled on my "Preferred Client's Calendar". Thanks for the great ideas elBenbo!

There has never been an easier time in history to start a bid’niz.
Anyone whining about about how they can’t do it is full of dog shyt. It’s not that you can’t, it’s that you *won’t*.
