I heard a great small business story last night.
It was one of those stories that could become
an entrepreneurial legend.
…and it happened by accident.
It was a cold and stormy night…just kidding.
Actually it was cold and stormy, but it’s
winter, so who cares. I was eating dinner last
night with my girlfriend and we were sitting
at the bar of the restaurant that we normally
frequent.
There was a guy next to me and we got to talking.
He owned an auto parts business, but his real
passion was music.
He told me that he was a professional “distressed
business starter,” meaning that he had terrible
luck running businesses that he was not passionate
about.
We swapped stories (it’s hard for me to convince
people that I sell information and have them
understand, but it kind of sunk in).
After awhile he dropped a huge “a-ha” bomb on me.
He told me this story of a friend of his that owned
a garage, but also loved jazz music.
During they day he would fix cars and at night he
would clean up the garage and move the tools aside
and have jazz concerts.
Well, after awhile the jazz became more lucrative
than fixing cars, so he added on to the garage and
built a jazz club right next to it.
Now, both of his passions are under the same roof!
What did it take for that guy to jump in with both
feet, doing something that no one else has done?
All he did was ask himself one question…
Why not me?
What makes you happy and keeps that fire in your
gut?
What do you really want to do with your business
that would really make you happy?
All you have to do is tell that little inner voice
“screw it, let’s try it out, what’s the worst that
can happen?”
…some of the most amazing business ideas are
created that way.
Until tomorrow,
Joshua Black
