ImageImageYou never hear that phrase in today's media.  Not in movies or on television.  Not in commercials or in the news.  You never read it in the paper or in a novel.  But they exist, the multi-thousand dollar businesses.  In fact, we're surrounded by them.

They're upstaged by their older, better-looking brother, the multi-million dollar business.  They're so upstaged that they're never mentioned.  Like they're not worth enough to waste oxygen or ink or bytes on.

The dog-sitting business is a multi-thousand dollar business.  I knew a dog-sitter once.  She was hot.  She went to people's houses and walked their dogs and fed them.  She gave them love and attention while the owners were out of town on business or pleasure.  She had a successful multi-thousand dollar business.

This one doesn't use bags. Heh-heh, I said bags.
The door-to-door vacuum sales business is a multi-thousand dollar business.  This schmuck lugs a vacuum around from house to house, peddling his wares like a plague on the earth.  He's there and he makes a living because you still see him around.  He can still do it because it's a multi-thousand dollar business.

Go-Kart racing is a multi-thousand dollar business.  Kids and grown men squeeze into little go-karts and race around small oval tracks for prize money.  They make enough to keep returning year after year.  Why?  Because it's a successful multi-thousand dollar business.

The American Dream is out there for anyone to grab.  Sure you may drive a twenty year old Datsun and wear clothes that went out of style before the internet.  But you too can have your very own multi-thousand dollar business.
