I’ve changed/deleted identifying information to protect innocent ice cream truck owners everywhere.

* Easy work? Ha! (Red emphasis mine)
A few years ago, before I had ventured into the wonderful world of network marketing, I might have considered this business venture for about 27 minutes. Some teachers who haven’t been informed of the true beauty of a REAL home based business might seriously consider eeking around town purveying ice cream during their cherished summer vacations.
Now I am not opposed to ice cream, ice cream trucks or even ice cream truck music. I am sure that OWNING a fleet of ice cream trucks could be quite lucrative.
Easy work? Driving around in a giant, creaky truck serving up frosty popsicles sounds unfun. Bending over to lug cases of fudgesicles, falling into a freezer, counting change from dirty hands, and listening to ice cream truck music ALL DAY long does NOT sound easy. Working from home and spending time with one’s own children sounds like a better summer and a more solid future.
Seriously….is there residual income from ice cream trucks in the freezing fall or the wacky winter? No!
