One of the fastest-moving couriers in his city, he was also the biggest collector of speeding tickets. Just inches away from losing his license for a long, long time, Alex had an idea. Alex Carroll遇上了麻烦。他是当地开车最快的人之一，自然的经常收到超速罚单。就在他 快要失去执照的时候，他有了一个点子。 He began interviewing police officers everywhere to figure out how to beat his multiple speeding raps. And he did beat his tickets... every last one of them. But, he didn't stop there. You see, Alex had a sudden inspiration – in the middle of all that pain, Alex had discovered an opportunity. 为了找到一个逃避惩罚的办法，他开始和各地的交警打交道。 他确实做到了——他消除了所有的罚单。但他并没有就此而止，因为，在这个痛苦的过程中，他突然的灵感让他发现了一个崭新的成功机会。 (Note: Usually our greatest opportunities are hidden disguises in our adversities and problems. More on this later.) （附注：我们最大的机会通常都存在于我们的不幸和困难中。我们后面将会更多的谈到这一点） He piled all his interviews into book form and titled it "Speeding Excuses That Work." Then, he tracked down Dan Poynter (the king of self publishing information – go to http://www.parapublishing.com to find his free downloadable articles and books on money-making ideas) and, from Dan's advice, quickly printed several hundred copies of his small book. Next, he started calling radio personalities and program directors everywhere and offered to tell radio listeners how to beat their own speeding tickets. In mere days, he was doing interviews. In weeks, he was making it to the big time, selling as much as $40,000 in books after just 15 minutes on the radio! 他把和各地的交警打交道的情况写成一本书，名为《有效超速借口》。他找到 Dan Poynter （这位号称“个人出版信息”之王，你可以在他的网站 http://www.parapublishing.com 找到可免费下载的赚钱创意电子书），并且根据 Dan 的建议，将他的小书印制了数百份。然后，他打电话给各地的电台负责人和节目制作者，说他可以为听众讲授逃避超速罚款的方法。就这样，几天以内， 他就已经开始作电台专访了；几周内，他甚至创纪录的在仅仅15分钟的专访后就卖掉价值$40,000的书！ Why? Because more than 170,000 speeding tickets are issued DAILY in the United States alone. Almost unwittingly, Alex Carroll had found his audience! 为什么会有这样的结果呢？因为在美国，每天就有多达170,000的超速罚单。不知不觉中，Alex Carroll 找到了他自己的听众。
