So, I am staring down the barrel of potentially going back to work at the end of the year unless I can somehow generate sufficient regular income from other efforts/pursuits.
Historically, I don’t have a good track record in getting things off the ground. Myself and my business partner (I’m going to refer to her as “BP”) have been brainstorming business ideas for nearly 2 years. We are have looked at everything from:
- multi-level marketing; to
- gumball machines; to
- chocolate floral arrangements; to
- coffee carts; to
- pet accessories.
But through a discussion my BP had with a colleague, we have identified a need for an educational product that teaches people (generally teenagers and young adults) how to manage money in a simple but hands-on way.
Finally – we have found something that we believe has legs and are pursuing this full steam ahead.
Stay tuned as I blog our progress – every step of the way! Cross your toes and fingers for us in the hope that this will get off the ground and help people manage their finances.
It’s exciting to finally decide on an idea and start trying to commercialise it… and my dream of throwing in my job gets just that little bit closer!
I’m definitely interested in learning more about this product. The need to teach young people how to manage money is massive. My experience is that most high school grand don’t even know how to balance a checkbook!
Thanks Alexis – I have moved this blog to: http://www.kateyboo.com so will update that site for progress on our product!
