The Legend of the “Million Dollar Napkin”

Back in 2006, a good friend bet me that I couldn’t write out my entire business model on a single napkin.

I took his bet, and right then and there – in the bar at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, TX – I grabbed a cocktail napkin and drew out my business model. What I wrote on that napkin has easily been worth many MILLIONS to me, which is why I now refer to it as my “Million Dollar Napkin”.

I’ve never shared the contents of this napkin with the public, but for a limited time you can see it with your own eyes in the video below:

   I do enjoy the way you have presented this particular matter and it does indeed give us some fodder for thought. On the other hand, because of just what I have personally seen, I basically trust when the actual feedback stack on that individuals remain on point and don’t start upon a tirade associated with some other news of the day. Yet, thank you for this fantastic point and while I do not agree with this in totality, I regard your point of view.
