The Success Secret of Aristotle Onasis

You may have heard of Aristotle Onassis. He’s perhaps best known as second husband of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the wife - then widow - of President John F. Kennedy.

In addition to that, Aristotle Onassis was a successful businessman. In his day, he was one of the
richest men in the world.

He built a world-wide shipping empire.

Once, Aristotle Onassis was asked what he would do if suddenly, he lost all his money. Here’s how he replied.

He said:

“I’d get a job, and work till I had saved up $300. Then I’d go buy myself an expensive suit, and go to
where the rich people hang out.”

(Of course, back in the 1970s when Aristotle Onassis said this, a suit that cost $300 back then would cost
around over $1,000 today.)

Why would he do this?

Because of the importance of CONTACTS!

And not just any contacts… But making important contacts!

That’s because contacts open doors. They provide opportunities. No matter what business you’re in.

Some businesses can be run on contacts alone, and nothing else! (If you want to find out more about
this kind of business, see below because it’s explained further there.)

Whatever you do… Work on getting and keeping good contacts. Because when you do that, you’ll help your
business.

    Like I say, at the end of the day, credit is much more important than money. If you are broke but still with credibility, you’re kind of saved, but no friends, no teamwork, no money… and you’re finished!

    Thanks for being there for me Chuck!:)
