many years ago,I did a subdivision ,6 blocks cut from 330ac.
The surveyor,Buckley Lismore,said to pay him when I sold the first block.
although this does not put dollars in your pocket now ,they become future dollars
and it keeps you busy instead of thinking black thoughts, it puts you back in the game.
I applied the same principal later in my cylinderhead business, I continually produced 15 units every week
there were many weeks I had zero orders, in the beginning I shit my pants and did not sleep,but as my stockpile grew slowly the phone started to ring,the the orders trickled in I was able to impress the customers with prompt delivery and so it went
I also did the cold call thing,telephone all over Australia,nearly every week
