The pizza gig.
I learned years ago that there were some strange ways people figured out how to make money.
Here’s one that I learned in a curious way. I had just gotten a new car and my first car payment of about $148.00 bucks a month for a 1984 Honda Accord, my last car had “bitten the big one” so I went to a corner car lot that you see on the side of the road. I was looking for my third car. So I was in need of making some money and being a young kid I wasn’t sure how I was going to pay for this car I had just gotten with the full coverage insurance and registration. I had my hands full. I put four hundred down and traded in my 1968 Dodge Dart and I was kind of nervous but feeling good, but the clock was ticking and I needed some quick cash.
Fortunately for me I met this guy living in Brea, California at the time. He had asked me to come to work for him about a month earlier but I wasn’t interested then. By this time I was a whipper snapper of a sales man, and I thought I had a decent grasp on whether I could make money. I decided to listen to his pitch. You can make some serious money delivering pizza he said. How serious? My guys can make up to 8 grand a month using my secret techniques.
