I know it’s Christmas night and you probably want to go to bed early tonight (I do too!) but I HAVE to tell you about this crazy little guy who showed up at my door tonight.
He was short, about 4 feet tall.
He also had weird shoes that curled at the toe.
And even more weird, he had pointy ears.
I asked him who he was and he said he was a messenger elf from Santa!
Apparently, Santa is getting older and slower, and he’s concerned about his retirement plan.
He’s been spending all his coin on naughty things instead of nice things 😉
So he wanted my advice.
Can you believe that?
So here’s what I told this messenger to tell Santa:
1. Start an online business!
I told the messenger to tell Santa to start selling his own branded stuff on Amazon, santa toilet paper would be a big hit don’t cha think 😀
2. Quit eating the cookies and milk!
When going to down chimneys and seeing plate of cookies and a glass of milk, ignore it! And instead, leave a note next to them saying next year he’d prefer to be left fruit or maybe some meat and cheese, instead.
And instead of milk, I told him to ask for water.
If he needs advice, he should check out the Aussie Online Entrepreneurs:

3. Start charging kids for deliveries unless they’re members of Amazon prime
Santa spends way too much time delivering stuff, Amazon could do all his deliveries for free! Now that’s LEVERAGE baby!

I said to tell Santa this is NOT a get rich quickly thing.
It’s based on the same stuff all the Aussie Online Entrepreneurs are doing to set themselves free, so it’s not magic (no using his elves to get stuff done) but it does work.
4. Have a third list, naughty, nice and in-between
In other words…
Santa’s current system is too restrictive 😀
There are lots of things that kids do that’s kinda in-between naughty and nice
PLUS
What about all those adult gifts that he delivers, I’m sure we all like the naughty ones much more 😉
5. Lay off 50% of the elves
Let’s face it.
All those elves are dead weight.
And by trimming his workforce down, he’ll also trim his overhead down, too, because he’ll be forced to roll up his sleeves and do more work.
Anyway, so that’s that.
This is the plan I have for Santa.
We’ll see if he listens in 2017
Have a GREAT Christmas.
I’ll see you soon! 🙂
Neil
