He's Done It!

Wow ... I hear that on July 11 2006, the One Red Paperclip guy, Kyle MacDonald, traded for a house.

He bagan with one red paperclip on July 12 2005 and on July 12, 2006 (14 trades later), he planned to trade for a house located at 503 Main Street, trading with the Town of Kipling Saskatchewan . Click the link above (right click and open in new window, of course) to see the story and then chain.

How did this happen?

The simplicity, the focus and a clear end goal provided the motivation necessary. And that worked - just like magic! Alchemy.

The whimsical element gave it legs and captured the imagination of others who were keen to assist in helping Kyle achieve his goal.

You don't have to be so outrageous nor do you have to make such a massive leap but you can still use the principles involved to set and get a goal, achieve your dream.

SO ... what is your paperclip and what will you attempt to do with it?
