More ideas

Well I met with the Princes Trust and the woman seems interested in my idea. We talked about my different ideas and business plan. She seemed to like the book shop idea with scones, cakes and drinks being sold.
However, the Hive don't seem to think I'll make any money out of it, which is rather disheartening. In fact, I feel like giving up because of it. I will persevere though as it's what I want to do. Maybe I won't make a profit for the first year or two... maybe I'll break even and build a reputation for myself instead so I make more money in the next years.
Maybe I will fail. This is pretty likely if I don't do enough or the right marketing.
I think I should try to publish some of my writing, perhaps I'll even put it up here.
So far, Mike and I have come up with alot of ideas for me to do including writing, translating, story reading and animal care.
Writing, I can do but I'm not really that confident enough in my ability to write any more. I find it really daunting and re-reading some of my stuff is quite embarrassing for me.
Translating, I'd need to study French again. It's been a long time since I've done any French so goodness knows how I'd do with this. I could always try it as a side line anyway.
Story reading, I have no experience with children. I think this could be a draw back to this. But maybe with a bit of training I could get on well with it.
Animal care, well I've been there, done that. It's very hard work and requires alot of confidence with animals. I have that, but I'm not sure my back could cope with all the bending required to lift dogs. I think I'd need to strengthen my back before I could do this kind of work.
So that's the idea list for the moment. Who knows what'll happen. Everything seems so up in the air.
