Genius Types

The first thing people say to me when they find out that I own a bulk candy vending business is, “have you looked into snack and soda machines? I know a guy who’s making a ton of money off those things.”

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. The more my mindset is focused on creating wealth, the more I realize the wisdom in these words.

Several years ago, my girlfriend and I were both full time bartenders in Austin, TX. We had dreams of getting into the movie business (her as an actress, and I as a director), but we were slaves to our jobs at the restaurant.

Often the best ideas are right under our noses. How many times have you walked past a quarter candy machine in a restaurant lobby or break room?
