"Dad, Anthony and I want to go out and shovel people's driveways and sidewalks for money - is that ok" "Sure Warren, just stay in the neighborhood ok" 6 hours later .... "Dad , Anthony and I made $120 each!" I was stunned - "how did you make $120 , how did you get all those neighbors to hire you and Anthony" "It was easy, once they asked 'how much Anthony and I what the price was, we would just say "whatever you think it's worth." Born salesman at 8 years old. He quickly removed "price" as the obstacle - who can say to "no" to an 8 year old kid once the issue of price was removed. So I have quickly removed the grandchildren as the obstacle and ready to move forward! ;>)
