(Emotion) Observation: When out and about meeting people, seeing new things and sometimes literally smelling the roses along the way is when I really feel like I am progressing. Learning, adapting and doing.
Opportunities:
- Often small business owners can feel isolated and end up in a spiral of working too hard and becoming increasingly isolated. They get exhausted. And no one is at their best when they are exhausted. When not start an entrepreneur's walking or running club? Efficient use of time, the opportunity to get out and making sure people stay healthy too. Similar to the Hash House Harriers, we could start and end at a pub so if people want to linger, they can.
- Its amazing how the environment affects you. Hanging out in SOHO makes me want to go faster, edgier. Mayfair makes me cautious and see the value of a great board. Why not create a series of movable co-working spaces, popping up for a month, each with its own feel and strengths. Why not pitch it to a restaurant, a hotel or even a car-park that during their down-time, they cam gain extra revenue, traffic and frankly kudos with the local community. Sponsored by a 'SME friendly' bank and with the occasional talk by business people, it could work really well.
- For professional societies - have old fashioned field days. Either curated or crowd-sourced, get out there and move!
