Hi Sean,
Right or wrong it is very important to have the right partner who you can depend on. They can make or break you.

I disagree with Sean and Lisa. The uncle was smart. He knew that there was gold out there and he was determind to get it. He was wise not to invest in machinery and cart it around with him as he did his test digs. This is exactly the procedure that modern miners follow. The gold could have been in a river or in quarts rock or just under the surface over a wide area. Each possibility would require a different set of equipment to win that gold. Until he explored his prospects and knew a lot more about them he would not understand the tools he needed to properly collect them. Had he gone out and bought the mining equipment first then he would have had to have made some pretty strong assumptions about the gold and have been pretty close-minded about how the venture would unfold.

A key to selling is to understand your target market. Know where to find them and understand what they want, what they need, what excites them, and what influences their buying decisions. This is why a single sales pitch or method won’t work on all of your target market. You have to be both knowledgable and flexible in your approach in order to win.

Well done Uncle. I’ll partner with you any day of the week.

Hi Sean,
It seems to me the uncle was hedging his bets. He wasn’t entirely confident about his chances for success. He failed to take the machinery with him in the first place.
If he believed he would really find gold, or if he was unreservedly committed to finding gold and refusing to give up until he found gold, the machinery would have been a necessity from the start. I think achieving success means knowing exactly what you want, planning how to succeed and then working that plan. You have to be confident that you will be successful and giving up must never be an option.
