I'm not thrilled about the direction his entrepreneurial spirit has taken him, but I really like the spark of creativity it shows on top of an incredibly mundane idea. His goal was to hand write the numbers up to a million.<br /><p></p><blockquote><p>Wilson, 49, began his quest about four years ago, when he decided he wanted to do something that had never been done. He was fascinated by the number 1 million, which he believes holds a special significance in the American psyche....</p><p>The quest ended last month as Wilson put the final numbers in his book. The result is four three-ring binders, each containing 250,000 consecutive numbers. Wilson's binders contain a total of 768 pages, with the numbers written in 10 columns on each side.</p></blockquote>So, how will he capitalize on his accomplishment?<br /><blockquote>People can buy certificates with their lucky number for a few bucks. Each bears the image of Wilson's face on a $1 million bill. They are numbered, signed and certified by "Mr. Million" himself.<br /></blockquote>And the kicker?<br /><blockquote> Since he started, Wilson has sold about 500 certificates, he said.</blockquote>Bradley Rosshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06030210881782328907noreply@blogger.com
