Whatever next

I have just had my eyes opened!

Having just spent well over an hour talking Blackfish through with my a relative I have just had my eyes opened to a number of things.

I have been really struggling to sign a client up for the consultancy, Im stubborn and wouldnt accept I had it wrong and when people tell me I cant do something it makes me more determined.

My problem isnt the idea, its not the competition it isnt even whether or not there is a need.

Its this.

Whilst I can save organisations money they want problems and headaches solved.

My business gives more problems, strange as it sounds because I show people how to save money they then have to implement the solution.

I dont save them enough money that the MD will want to get involved but the IT manager doesnt want to show hes hired a consultant to fulfill part of his role!

So im in the middle of a rock and a Hard Place.

There is a very simple solution to this, which was actually my first plan. Which was to supply the Hardware as well.

I was convinced by a couple of people close to me that this wasnt the way to go.

So I will update you in a day or so when my plans are clearer.

I also found out cousin is an Ex Area Director of a High Street bank, a Management Consultant and he does this for a living but usually for far bigger businesses.

So I may need to go back to drawing board and rethink a couple of things but I have got a Mentor and then some.

Always a silver lining.
