All you need is a bucket of water…

Something Sirallun said this week in a recap episode of The Apprentice has stuck with me, almost like a mantra, for the last few days.

It goes to show that even in this economy, anyone can make money by just picking up a bucket of water and a sponge and going out there.

(Paraphrased, of course.)

There are two ways to make money. You either start off with money or you start off with time. With money, you can breed more money – it’s almost like a fungus. But with time, precious time… you can really turn nothing into something. Just pick up a bucket and a sponge.

(Of course, something the ‘all you need is time’ camp don’t count is that somewhere, somehow, someone has to pay for the damn bucket.)
