Mario is a young Master of Success. Mario starts with nothing and gains everything.
Mario has a positive mental attitude. Day one, Mario’s only physical asset is a rusty old lawnmower. However, Mario’s greatest assets are his mind, his determination and his willingness to take decisive action.
Mario gets up early on the first day of the rest of his life and starts knocking on doors asking, “May I mow your lawn?” He goes from house to house. Usually, no one answers. When a door is opened, he is cordially rejected or rudely dismissed. He persists. After three hours of knocking, his life changes forever. He gets his first customer. Mario is in business.
It isn’t easy mowing a lawn with that rusty old mower yet Mario puts in the effort necessary to do a good job. Mario follows up to make sure that the customer is satisfied. He asks his customer if he can come back to mow the lawn again. He asks if there is any other yard or inside work that the homeowner needs. He removes an air conditioner and cleans a garage. In three hours, he makes sixty dollars. Mario asks for a testimonial and a referral.
