untitled chapter....
one of the things eye am NOT good at.... is coming up with names.... that is why.... eye gave a song.... the name.... untitled love song.... that is why.... for now.... this chapter is untitled.... because.... it could be called.... building a business.... or.... showing you the way.... or.... female systems.... or.... or.... or.... so many names would be fitting.... and.... eye am stuck.... eye cannot choose.... eye do not know the perfect name....
so.... eye would like to start a new business....
here are MY qualifications....
eye ran a landscaping and lawn maintenance company.... starting when eye was around fourteen.... until my twenties.... eye was successful with lanscaping.... until eye found alcohol.... and.... then eye was not succesful with landscaping.... eye took a break.... when eye came back.... eye was succesful at lawn maintentance.... my specialty was sprinkler systems.... eye successfully lowered customers water bills by twenty to thirty percent.... eye loved fixing sprinkler systems.... making them operate more efficiently....
eye am not going to belabor my finance career.... but.... eye spent seven years in corporate finance.... and.... seven years in investments....
next.... eye ran a coffee shop.... poseiden still.... to this day.... will NOT give me credit.... but.... in about one or two years.... eye gave him the guidance.... or.... strategy.... and.... he did much of the implementation.... which.... together.... we turned the coffee shop around.... from a one hundred thousand dollar loss.... to a sixty or seventy thousand dollar profit....
eye created and operated an online grocery delivery business.... we flopped.... we TOTALLY flopped.... but.... eye KNOW a shit load about the grocery industry.... and.... we created.... eye created.... an automated purchasing system....
eye created and managed an online restaurant directory.... which helped people find the perfect holiday meal in their city.... eye had representation in over one hundred cities.... it was successful.... until it was not.... the search engines built our data into their search engine.... making us unneccessary nearly overnight.... if anyone knows anything about anti-trust law.... this was and is still TOTALLY illegal.... they used their oligopoly power.... to shut down thousands of independent businesses online.... one day.... eye plan on funding a class action lawsuit against the search engines.... and.... retrieve treble damages for ten years worth of revenue.... for all online businesses shut down by the search engines.... just to let you know.... it is the same exact thing that microsoft did to netscape.... they built their own search engine into a practically monopoly operating system.... shutting netflix down overnight.... this IS illegal.... totally illegal....
but.... enough about me....
now.... eye want to tell you about this new business....
eye would like it to be a coffee shop.... because eye have experience with coffee shops.... and.... eye only have two hundred thousand dollars.... so.... eye cannot open a grocery store.... or.... anything big.... not even a restaurant.... eye think those require more.... and.... eye have no experience....
eye would like this coffee shop to be a healing center.... physically and emotionally and mentally.... eye would like it to be ALL organic.... if possible....
eye would like to help people heal from depression.... depression is on the rise.... eye found data that says twenty percent of the population struggles with depression at any given time.... and eye would like it to help with social isolation.... eye would like it to be a meeting place.... eye have a lot of ideas.... eye would like to hear your ideas....
eye have a good location spotted.... but.... again.... eye am open to suggestion....
here is the big thing.... eye want it to be run by committee.... twelve people.... and.... here is why....
eye think.... one person at the top.... is a male centric system.... and.... it heats up the world.... eye want to create a female centric sytem.... a circle verses a triangle.... an organization run by committee.... there still will be a manager.... one person making certain decisions.... but.... the manager will be elected by committee.... and.... it will change every few months.... and.... there will be several managers.... a business manager (accounting and finance).... a marketing manager.... a employee manager.... a purchasing manager.... etc etc....
eye want the organization to be balanced.... people from all walks of life.... six democrats and six republicans.... six men and six women.... and.... any other way that we can find balance.... eye want representation from many different groups.... vegans.... ketos.... gun slingers.... rainbows.... what else.... what other kind of representation can we have....
eye do not want this place to be a rock.... eye want it to be a stepping stone.... eye want to work with people.... to find their interests.... to find out what they are passionate about.... and.... if they want to start a new business.... help them start a new business.... eye already have two business that they could work on.... if they have any interest.... build a book.... an online book publishing company.... and.... the diabetes cure.... a whole new type of non-profit.... eye have some ideas.... of how to create a better search engine.... and.... many many ideas for a new and improved grocery store.... and.... from my twenty years wrestling with bipolar.... eye have many many ideas.... for a new way to heal.... a new way for people wrestling with mental pressures.... to heal.... in a better way.... without ALL of the messed up side effects.... but.... the coffee shop is my focus right now.... actually.... that is NOT true.... eye have bipolar.... so.... eye am all over the place.... eye love being involved in many businesses at one time....
so.... if you are looking at this page.... probabilities are.... that eye have reached out to you.... that.... eye would like to work with you on this project.... but.... eye am not the only decision maker in this project.... my silent partner has to chose you to.... if you reach out to me.... eye will assume that she has been in contact with you....
eye think that you will NOT regret your time with whatever this company is eventually called.... eye think that it will be a good experience.... for everyone involved....
if you can handle working with someone who is bipolar.... if any of this sounds interesting to you.... please.... reach out.... let me know.... if not.... that is ok to.... one of my weaknesses.... is that eye am toooooo open.... so.... eye have many many people to reach out to.... but.... based on past experience.... maybe nobody will reach back.... and.... eye will continue.... to walk that lonely lonely road.... the only road eye have ever known.... it is ok.... eye have gotten used to it.... but.... eye will always hold on to hope.... that one day.... things will change.... so.... please.... take no pity.... for the path that eye must walk.... my shadow keeps me company.... whoops.... there eye go again.... letting too many people into my darkside.... into my crazy side.... have eye successfully chased all of you away now.... whoops....
