Well, at that time I did not have a piano. In fact I have never owned a piano, but I did have one of those early-style word processors. I advertised word-processor and sold it to first caller. That gave me cash I needed to make a start in a business of my own and that business became so big I could hardly cope with number of orders. I had complaints about slow service because there was just too many orders to fulfil. Before I knew it I got a call from Bank to tell me I had achieved a seven figure turnover, and did I want to meet an investment advisor. I had to explain that I had no time even to attend to orders let alone spare time to meet an advisor.

To cut a long story short, I told my errant helpline caller to sell his piano. He had no piano, so I asked him what other items he has of any value in his home. He explained that he had nothing of any value but his wife had an old Singer Sewing Machine that she never uses. Get her permission to sell it I told him and that’s what he did. He got a good price for it and bought some of my stock.

That caller to my help-line had a problem. The problem once resolved actually made him wealthy within just two years. The last time I heard from him was when I received a photograph of him enjoying a luxury holiday on a beautiful sandy beach with his wife and two lovely children
