The Magical Business Card

Business cards may be very limited but they are one of the most important tools that a millionaire uses to get to his clients. A business card is a very easy thing to have but the question is why don’t all of us have business cards?

A business card gives you an identity of who you are and your position in the company that you work for. I have had a business card do magic for me and its time that it does the magic for you. My first business card was made out of a dream. I always liked music and I always said that one day I would build a build so big that people would wonder what it was. This building was going to be my entertainment company.


This card had my names on it and it described me as the founder, president and C.E.O of the company. The only thing that was missing was the company. The card motivated me and gave me an identity. It made me realize that I was meant to become that, all I had to do was bring up the company so that I could now be the head of it.


All this was happening when I was in college. We used to hold tournaments where people would compete for the best looking lady and best looking guy. Our campus was so small that the tournament had to be held somewhere else and not in the school campus. We got this newsletter that explained where the tournament was going to be held and there was my chance.
It was going to be held in one of the big hotels in the country and it was my time to meet some big and important business men since I knew for sure that that was where they stayed, the tournament was important to me because I would use it as a bridge to cross me to the next level, the level of big business men. I had about four cards in my pocket and I needed at least thirty cards so that I could distribute them when we got to the hotel. I had about five hours to get my cards ready. I went ahead and prepared more cards that had the title of my company. The cards described me as the president, chairman and C.E.O of the company which was yet to exist. I just had cards that barely explained anything. When we got to the tournament I had at least thirty-six cards. Those were enough to get me going.


When the tournament started, I found a way of sneaking out of the hall to go and stand beside the door of the restaurant where all the V.I.Ps used to eat; I just had to make sure that I gave out all the cards. I know you are wondering why I was giving out cards that described a company that never existed! The company existed in my mind and the cards were motivating me to bring it to life.
I had given out thirty five cards and had only one to go. I saw this guy that came out of the elevator and as he was heading into the restaurant I just gave him the card and started walking away. After walking for about a minute, the guy called me and asked me what my company dealt with and this was my response, “my company is a component of college students and all we do is look for business opportunities and then implement them.” He looked a bit surprised but the card made him book an appointment the following day.


The next day I met with the guy and this was what he said to me “hello Wallace, three years ago I gave somebody a business card just like you gave me one and now I run businesses all over the world. I am going to give you a business plan and I will teach you how to make a lot of money that you will be driving nice cars to school that will look ten times better than your teacher’s”. That was what the business card that explained a non-existing company did for me…………………….
