Sweet story, with great marketing lessons

6 replies
This is one of the sweetest videos I've seen, and because it's loaded with great business lessons, I'm happy I can share it here with you guys.

Caine's Arcade on Vimeo

4 tries for $1... but for $2 you get the Fun Pass!

"Can we go home early? We had no customers today."
"No Can Do."

And of course... build it and they will come.

Hope you enjoy,
-Rob

  • Nice. The kid is a creative thinker.

    I give it 7 days before there is a "Local Offline Riches: How To Make A Cardboard Arcade" WSO.

        Wow that little kid's sitting on a goldmine! Why didn't I think of that? Oh, that's right. It's only fun when the kid does it. If a big 30-year-old lady like me were to build a cardboard arcade, they'd send the guys in the white jackets.

        Bummer.

          Thing is, I don't think this kid started out thinking, "This idea is a goldmine! I'll make my own arcade and get RICH!" He just did something he loved.

          Just so happened to make him over $100K in the past two days.

          Do what you love and the money will follow. (It also happens to be a lot easier to do what you love when you don't have bills to pay, so...).

    I'm not into sweet stories, but that was amazing.

    Reminded me of the movie "Top Secret - The Billionaire"

    The Billionaire (2011) - IMDb

    [ENG][HD]The Billionaire International Trailer GTH [SUB] - YouTube

    I see the same unwavering spirit in both guys, like they are saying:

    "I don't care what happens, I'm going to succeed no matter what".
