The business that never was!
Now Tim Ferris has written a very interesting Blog post.He recently stopped his ad supported model of podcast and started a fan supported special offering podcast.
In spite of his support base and tremendous value he offers in his work,he decided to call it off!You need to read the post to understand details,but from what I understood;
It’s easier to have a business to business model for generating revenue ,than solely focused on individual customers.
Makes one wonder.
Now I was talking to a few people about starting a venture.Eight months back I was sure we would be ready to launch in February 2019,latest by April.We were just waiting for the right location.
It’s July now and I can say with ninety five percent confidence,that plan is scraped in all probability.

How many of us like the idea of managing a business?
I am not even sure I would know how to do it! I am okay with digital entrepreneurship. But the energy loss and economics (you know right?)of starting and attempting to start anything offline, can give many brave hearts a heart attack. +Good news is that the Government both at the State and the center want small business to prosper. The question is what do you start with?
Have you ever been confused about decisions you made about things that happened for no reason which changed your plans?
Lessons I learned after trying partnership for the sixth time ????
Whatever happens, is part of a bigger plan. Adversity is not all bad. It’s like a treasure hunt. Happiness and peace of mind are always on the table. Anything hampering these two is a recipe for disaster.
When you have to choose one of them, you must choose peace. Happiness resides in a peaceful heart.
Practice thankfulness at all times even when things don’t make sense.
Look at the rainbow. Create something magical.
White light hides a rainbow inside. Even simple things can be magical.
Something that gives you meaning in life is worth pursuing.
It’s always a good idea to trust your gut and check with logic.
Have at least one person in your life with whom you can share crazy ideas
Don’t give up.
Do what you are good at.
Find employment which doesn’t prevent entrepreneurship.It may be difficult but possible.
Nurture creativity because it’s great for you.
Plant trees.
Make an indoor garden.
Buy a home or rent one which you can clean without help or AI
Invest in mental wellness and overall health. That’s the best health insurance.
How did you cope?
Do you have faith that whatever happens is for the best?

I started my small business way before internet or even before I should have been scared about diving into my endeavor. I just knew I wanted to follow in my grandmother’s footsteps. Just closed after 52 years.
