Why is a newspaper route like a
lawn mower? Aw, gwan, that's
easy. You've got to keep pushing
II you want to get results. It ISM /
a bit Of use getting In front and
dragging the thing along, because
1t won't work that,way. 1t simply
makes a fuss and cuts no grass.
The only way to get results is to
keep going straight ahead, keep.
ing UP plenty Of momentum, or
nothing doln'.
Then again, the greater the am
cunt OF Momentum, the easier the
cutting AID the greater amount OF
grass you cut.
Isn't that Just like a newspaper
route, as every live carrier knows?
You have to keep right on pushing
pushing, pushing. The moment
you let UP, customers slip thru
your fingers and 1t Is that much
harder to get started again.
The safest way Is to be on the
Job all the time. Keep in touch
with the "for rent" and "for sale"
signs. Watch the suites In the
apartment blocks continually and
in a short time 1t will become Just
as easy as delivering the papers
and be simply a part of the days
work. ~
Keep pushing-lf you want 10
Ecut any, grass.
