$60 for 60 thank yous!
Submitted by: BeeJeweled
AZI am a retired school teacher, grandmother, and jewelry entrepreneur. My partner and I enjoy traveling Arizona small towns, showing off jewelry and making new friends.
Before the start of our rock and gem show in Tombstone Arizona, a group of vendors were treated to a tour of the Good Enough Silver Mine. The tour takes you down into the mineral rich twisted tunnels of the old mine. To leave you must ascend stairs with 60 steep steps. The guide recommends that you take your time and if you lag behind thats OK. As I began my ascent I decided to say 60 thank yous, a thank you for every step up. About halfway up, I asked that my thank yous be acknowledged. I suggested that perhaps my first sale of the day could be $60, matching the 60 thank yous. Within 15 minutes of the start of the show my first customer bought an item that was exactly $60. I shared this miracle with the owners of the mine. They were excited about my story and are now sharing it with receptive visitors taking the mine tour. I love imagining ascending tour participants giving 60 thank yous for 60 steps. Oh, by the way, my last 2 shows have each started with a sale of, you guessed it, $60.
