Over the last week I have been putting in place the ground work for another business which I have been thinking about for the last 6-8 months. This may sound kind of crazy even to myself for even contemplating this as this will just add more stress.
These days my head is literally spinning in thought full of ideas and yet this idea just seems right. Thankfully I do not play a major part in this business and it was more about bringing 2 parties together for the first time and letting them see what I saw almost 8 months ago.
The funny thing is I had to say very little due to this making so much business sense as each party brings what the other party is lacking in expertise. I know people and in this particular case I saw an opportunity that I could not resist.
Helping others whilst you help yourself is not such a bad thing either and it was great to see this unfold in such a way they had no idea this idea had been hatched months ago. It was all about how they saw each other and how they got on that was either going to make or break this.
I don't have any experience in this field they specialise in, but that does not mean I cannot play a role. I will add the missing parts which will turn this into a business. Why I even thought about this being even possible I have no idea.
I think in the past I possibly would have see this as an opportunity and just let it slide. Lock downs and Covid changed that for myself in many ways finding myself frustrated twiddling my thumbs sitting at home promising myself this will never happen again.
Then I was a partner in a packaging company that was moth balled due to lack of raw material. Never wanting to let customers down wit orders that could not be fulfilled the business was shut down temporarily. Only now are we growing our volumes having moved away from local raw material supply which is still unreliable to imported material.
They say when you have a serious health scare which I did back in 2016 you change and your outlook in life is very different than before. Since 2016 this I see as a second chance so sitting at home for months on end did not sit well with myself and why lock downs were another wake up call. I am sure others viewed this time differently, but I hated every minute as I saw this as lost earning potential.
Opportunities come and go with most of us not knowing it was an opportunity until it has already passed. On reflection I have let quite a few slip past which possibly I shouldn't have or in fact know I shouldn't have. This is why I think this may be a crazy idea, but then again those can also be the best ideas. This new business will be registered and up and running sometime in the New Year and more importantly I think it will be a fun project
