I've told some this story before... but it bares repeating...
A couple of years ago, I got home in the early hours of Sunday morning and all the parking spaces were taken in the car park behind my house.
The only spaces available that were on the main road which was only free before 8am.
I had no choice but to park there and intended to wake up at 7.30am to move the car.
But seeing as I got there at 3am in the morning, I overslept and ran out of the house at about 10am hoping and praying that there was no ticket...
It was worse, the lovely Lambeth council had towed away the vehicle and it was going to cost me £100 to get it back!
Not only that it was going to increase by £25 for every day that I didnt pick it up!
So I went into my house, sat down and began to think.
I wasn't working at the time and was only DJing at the time, it was Monday and my next booking was on Friday and Saturday, by which time the cost to get the car out would have doubled!
All the money I'd make from my previuos DJ bookings had already been assigned to pay for things or was already spent.
After about an hour, I came up with the idea that I had to borrow some money, double the money and get my car back and have enough to pay back what I had just borrowed.
THE PLAN
I knew someone who was looking for a PC, their budget was £200. I knew how to build and upgrade PC's so they were going to be my customer but I first had to get a PC that they would buy.
I hatched a plan, I'm so sure it was God speaking directly to me it was that amazing!
I needed £100 to buy a PC, then with some parts I had at my house from a previuos PC building project upgrade it, then sell it for £200, then get my car back and pay back the borrowed money.
I called the person looking for a PC to ask if they were able to buy it that day, they said yes! (miracle one).
I called my aunt to see if I could borrow £100 and pay it back in 24hrs, she said yes (miracle two). Then had to catch a bus to collect it... Yuck.
I then scoured the Loot newspaper, found a PC I could modify, called the seller, got him to deliver it to me and gave him £100.
I spent 1 hour 45 mins working on the PC, (fresh installation of windows, more RAM and something else - can't remember now) tested it fully. Then caught a bus to the customers house with the PC in two big bags... Again Yuck!
Got my £200! got my car out and drove straight to my aunt's house (12 hours early) to give her back her £100.
Then thought, hmmm I should have added a profit margin loooool.
Anywho, my 24 hour hustle rolled through seemlessly!
Thanks to God!
Now onto the next one...
Who wants to invest £10 ... Yes, just £10 into my next venture, we can discuss interest on your return on this one,
Money multiplies in my hands!
If you would put £10 in my hands I could do some amazing things with it...
you could have your own residual income coming in monthly just for one £10 seed, especially if you're only gonna waste it on crisps anyway :)
