I was always good at outside sales and worked for a soda bottling company selling beverage machines. The pay was not great but I enjoyed the prestige of representing such a world famous corporation. The company offered prizes for the salesmen that sold the most machines and I was often the winner of a large screen TV console or an air conditioner. That was before the company decided to sell their machines by advertisements. They then disbanded their sales force and I was out of a job.
After many failures in small business ventures I came to the conclusion that my failures were due to something missing in my ability. I am far from being a stupid man but after months of examining myself I had discovered that I am not talented enough to run a business alone. The answer to my problem would be in teaming up with a talented partner who will make up for what I lack. My problem then was to find a partner that would be interested in teaming up with me.
I put an ad in the business section of my local newspaper asking for a business partner that would be interested in buying or starting up a small business. There were many replies to my ad and after months of many luncheon meetings, I got to know a few guys that would make good partners. One of them I thought would be the perfect partner. He had a masters degree from an Ivy league college and was extremely intelligent. But he suffered from dwarfism and had a speech defect. We shortly became partners in a small business.
The antique toy train business is supported by the buying and selling of toy trains. The trains are bought through an ad in the newspapers offering to buy old trains. It is the salesman’s job to examine the trains at the homes of their owners and buy them. If he is a good at his job he will bring those trains back to the shop at the lowest possible cost. The shop consists of a few workers that restore the trains to mint condition. The manager works in his office on mail order catalogues that display the train collection, and also takes care of the books.
The Ideal partnership consists of an outside and an inside man. Even if they both own the company they live in different worlds. The salesman personally contacts potential customers and opens new accounts, without him there is no business. The inside man manages the office and the new business brought in by the salesman. Together they make things work.
Our Antique Toy train business was sold for over two million dollars after ten years in business. It was bought by two partners, each had limited abilities. One had Agoraphobia and could not be outside an office for any length of time. The other partner had Claustrophobia and could not be inside an office for any length of time. They were a perfect business team and I am sure they will be successful.

Anythign wrong with thi picture?
By: Mik | 01-09-2008
okay, i've been feeling really weird, but i dont think i'm sick. and i've no idea what to do. i have this strange twitching thing where its like uncontrolable twitching only it is really beginning to bug me. it is happening a lot more since my wonderful girlfriend told me out of the blue she is bisexual. i wouldnt call myself homophobic or anyhting but its the last thing i expected and really blew me back. i've been feeling really crappy last few months but its suddenly intensified and i find myself completely unmotivated to do anything. more now than usual. i'm quite amazed that i bought myself to write this letter. i cant think of anything else to say but sometimes, when i am completely alone, not not alone, i infrequently hear someone call out my name really loudly. scares the hell out of me when i'm on my own and i know noones there. it might only happen once a month or so but its been happening for a few months now. i'm done. thanks.

By: Lenniebens | 15-07-2008
why am i such a loner. is perfring to be alone bad? i love being around people. but im shy so i barely say anything. which is weird because im usually really hyper and goofy. at least with my family. but i care too much about wat people think of me. so i get nervous and have like a social anxiety attack, so i like to be by myself. plus when ever my friends text or call me, i never answer, unless its my boyfreind. im in clubs and stuff but its hard to participate. im used to not getting my voice heard so i jus like to listen to others opinions. ive never really been much of a talker i guess. im not sure what im asking. lol. umm maybe jus some feed back/

By: jonnybeatnic | 28-06-2008
I REALLLY need help. I think my problem is is that I analyze everything... EVERYTHING down to the last spec and because of this everything goes wrong for me. I am so focused on doing things a certain way and using psychology to my own advantage that now its at a point where I can't even stop! I just can't! It has actually become a part of me to analyze every single thing and now I cant enjoy anything! Im a happy person by nature but everytime I analyze I discover things I dont want to know about. However it has become a part of my facon d'etre to do so. I think its gonna take something drastic to change me (Nothing harmful or anything but definitly a different approach)
