Hard Work!

Just having a drink and a chat with a bloke over a pint in the ''White Hart''
just before heading home yesterday. I discovered he was worth around $4 million
and he shared the amazing story of how he got so rich.
Basically, when he left school, he had little or no formal qualifications
but he was good with his hands, and he knew how to sell.
He knew he was never going to make it in an office job, so it was nose to the grindstone time.
He told me how he left school at 15 and bought an old caravan cheap
and spent a few weeks fixing it up, he then sold it for profit.
He then used the money to buy another and so on.
He did this a lot over the next 35 years, buying, repairing, selling, buying again.
He eventually moved onto motor homes in the 90's and then onto cars
in the last eight or nine years even during the real bad times he plugged away.
He worked long hours sometimes not seeing his wife and kids for days in pursuit of his goal.
Then his uncle died and left him $4 million.
