Just a side step.
I was discussing business with a friend at a sports club that I visit regularly and a fellow who also comes there to play squash frequently was sitting next to us and you could see that he was following our conversation.
Since I had talked to him a few times I knew that he had a 9 to 5 job and was not satisfied with having such a job.

When I realized that he was overhearing us I decided to do something I had been planning for some time. I had two copies of the first RDPD book at home and always thought I would give one to somebody who was stuck in de employee lane. However, I never decided to which of the all people that I knew in the E quadrant.

So, now I knew what to do with the book and I told the guy I wanted to give him something that might help him change his (financial) life. He told me when he was planning to visit the club again and I dropped by to hand him the RDPD book.
That all happened about 6 months ago.
About two weeks ago I ran into him again and he told me he had read the book and followed it up with a few RE books and that he was in the process of buying his first rental property. That simple book was the trigger for him to do something.
That really made my day.
