Well so much has happened since I was last on-line, and I personally have moved 180 degrees from where I was then! I made a throwaway remark to someone who was coming to my neck of the woods sort of asking her to bring football tops for the children in the orphanage where I have been teaching the office staff book-keeping. Her response led to other suggestions and I started looking at ways to maximise the offers I was getting. As I was weighing tops and calculating postage I began to think. :think::think:
The thinking grew………:think:

I have been impressed by the dynamism of this thread, but felt it wasn’t for me. I have no hunger to run my own business, and indeed no business ideas and no base from which to do so, but what if I could plug into these ideas for somebody elses business, i.e. the Orphanage……

Last night using MG’s book and a notepad but sadly only blue biro no colours, I made my very first Mindmap. I even woke at 3.30 am to make additions – my mind was racing with ideas. Today I went to the Orphanage and presented my thoughts and they were greeted very enthusiastically.

Our very first task is to create a web-site. None of us is techie. (I’m with Parsniphead, the F5 key is just so cool!) But we are having a big launch of this web-site at a party at our house in November.

This morning we put down what we want the web-site to have, and organised the catering for 13th November and the entertainment. That was the beginning of Day 1 :cool:

Yesterday morning my only goal had been to cover the financial black hole they have at their year end. -They have to have no money in the bank otherwise their grants are reduced in line with the balance, however the government struggles with cashflow and this year their grants arrived some 10 weeks into the new year :eek: Now in my year allocated to this I am aiming for further branches of this Orphanage in other townships. (Sadly there is a need) with access to much funding and staff training from the UK Difficult to explain what I mean - but the web-site will do that.

Thank-you all, I think I have my Mojo back :A

OMG!!! and there goes another one :rotfl::rotfl:

................. and you thought the matrix wasn't for you??? Told you not just for business builders:D

When you decide what you need to make this happen you come and shout out real loud on here - OK?? Cos together we can move mountains - and maybe even one day persuade a government to pay you guys on time. We got a "scary" financial bod on here after all:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

scaredy_cat - thank you for that, I am in my 30ties and already feel old!!!! :eek: Been thinking about changing what I do for living but have not found the courage to do anything about it yet. Not sure what I could do and the cost scares me a lot, too. Been out of work for a few months now, it's absolutely dreadful. Also, our house's been on the market for 8 months now and no offers, it's so scary, if we don't sell like within a month or two, the bank will probably take it. Don't fancy ending up on the street at my age.
