My journey Part 3: Starting a business
With a budget of 500€ and a trainticket to Paris. Read to the bottom for my top 5 mistakes.
Choosing Wisely
This story is the third part of starting up my own business. In the last story, the seed was planted and the idea-tap was turned wide open. It was now time to put it in motion. Its the summer of 2011.
I decided that I would just do what I liked to do and was passionate about. My dream of becoming a professional triathlete !
Yes ? Well, no. Did not happen…Was not fast enough…
It had to have a business component. The other thing I was lyrical about was aviation and more important the process of continuous improvement. Building better processes, building better companies, safer operations etc…
So I would start a consultancy office for aviation companies, large and small, focusing on Safety and Quality. I would write operations manuals, draft procedures, perform audits, give trainings. And build an empire of aviation consultancy greatness. To the stars ! And beyond !!!
Focus on the meat
I felt I had probably found the niche of niches. It does not get smaller than that. Anyway, I still think it is key to focus on what you know best and what really makes you happy.
