I’ve been thinking a lot about business – who is it, what is it, and why? Perhaps we’re all businesses…
My dream for many years has been to become a businessman; Wake up in the morning, have a cappuccino, do some business, go home. Done. But what kind of business? Obviously, I’m a big international deal in the online casino sphere, and I’ve got good rapport with regular people. With this in mind, I’m thinking of opening an ‘Advice Centre’ for people who need some direction. I’ve already put together a five-point business plan:
1. Open business
2. Try really hard
3. Buy coffee machine
4. Have a good Christmas party
5. Keeping doing business
To finance my venture, I’ll have to use all of the savings me and Lucy have leftover from her father’s death, but she’ll be cool with it. In fact, I’m thinking of making her a ’silent partner’ and giving her a 7% stake in the company for her birthday. Always thinking…
I’ve also been thinking about catchphrases and slogans for advertising, and here’s what I have so far:
- Gary Vine Associates: “Problem? Not!” (accompanied by a picture of me in a sharp suit)
- Gary Vine Associates: “Listen.” (close up of an average ear)
- Gary Vine Associates: “We’ve tried really hard.” (funny picture of a cat on a washing line)
- Gary Vince Associates: “Come on!!!!” (England flag-related)
- Gary Vine Associates: “We’re on Twitter.” (Picture of an important person. Cameron???)
I’m going to start interviewing for an assistant next week. I need someone young and fresh, so if you have any ideas feel free to leave a comment below. Otherwise, I’ll just get Lucy to do it during her lunch breaks.
After an assistant, I’m going to need an office and a work computer with two monitors to go with it. I’ll also need a coffee cup holder that says: “Respect me. I am a business man.”
Busy times ahead – but it’s good to be doing something!
