Claudio in Merida Mexico has his own PB4L (personal business for life)

By Bruce Firestone | Business Models

Sep 27

His name is Claudio. He comes to Merida (where there are wealthy tourists) from Oaxaca (gastronomic capital of Mexico) once a year to sell his beautiful handmade cotton/bamboo blankets door-to-door.

Besides himself, there are three other people who work with him (both men and women).

He comes by car and it takes a day or more (17-hours and 54-minutes drive time according to google) to get to Merida.

These blankets sell for around 1,500 to 1,800 pesos each depending on how good a negotiator you are as a buyer… We bought one.

They are machine washable and dryable.

This photo was taken at our front door. Claudio was nearing the end of his mission having already sold several hundred blankets.

Claudio doesn’t speak much English (actually none) so my spouse Dawn did the translating, while I did the negotiating.

They grow their own cotton and bamboo and make their own cloth.

This is another PB4L story… It’s my belief that most of us (wherever we live) need some kind of side hustle we can call our own; one we can rely on when everything else fails. It would help too if we owned some real estate as well, even if it’s a modest home, hopefully with little or no debt on either the business or real estate.
