Everybody raised their hand and said; "I'll </div> <div> specialize in this." and then didn't follow through....</div> <bR> <div> I was opposed to the idea at that time because I knew what the out come </div> <div> would be, and I was right. Most of the people that raised their hand didn't </div> <div> follow through with the required action.</div> <bR> <div> So the same thing applies here. What you should really be doing is jotting </div> <div> down Janice's name, Email, and mailing address and consider her a strong </div> <div> source for plants as soon as you have some to sell.</div> <bR> <div> I know how Janice operates. If I were to Email her today and say; "I have </div> <div> 500 grafted Harry Lauder's Walking Sticks, do you think you can move them </div> <div> for me?", she is going to immediately try and find a buyer for them, then </div> <div> buy the plants from me. Now if the plant is rare enough she'll probably </div> <div> just buy them up immediately knowing that she can move them.</div> <bR> <div> There's nothing in the world wrong with what Janice is doing.<B> She's very, </B></div> <div> <B>very smart and an aggressive plant marketer.</B></div> <bR> <div> But in order for this to work she needs to hear from people with plants to </div> <div> sell, not from people who aren't to that point just yet.</div> <bR> <div> Janice Myers is in a position to buy plants from you folks because she and </div> <div> Patty are aggressive go getters. <B>They have only been in this group a little </B></div> <div> <B>over two years as I recall and they have done incredibly well, because they </B></div> <div> <B>take immediate and massive action. </B><FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >(Actual start-up date July 8, 2007)</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Study what they do.</B></div> <bR> <div> If you have plants to sell, then by all means get in touch with Janice and </div> <div> see if you can strike a deal. If don't have any plants to sell, get started </div> <div> and grow thousands of them. If you're not sure what to grow do the easy </div> <div> stuff, and just do 200 of each. Anybody can sell 200 of anything.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Good luck Janice and Patty with your venture and to those of you that will </B></div> <div> <B>eventually do business with them.</B></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="585" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 188 WIDTH="573"><div> <B>11/2/08</B></div> <div> I ordered about 500 of plants from Janice and they were packed well and received great.
