great - now that we are actually negotiating  ;>)  -- "whatver you want" - how
soon can we close the deal and sign the paperwork  :))

That remninds me of my younger son going out snow shoveling for $$ when he was 8
years old with his 8 year old buddy.

"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!
