Steeplechase



So sitting with a pen and paper I thought about the course ahead and what sort of hurdles I might encounter. Some were obvious as well as their solutions... others less so. The bold seem to be the best.


  • Getting produce to customers may be an issue since I don't have a drivers licence let alone a truck.
    1. I could just use a horse, but horses aren't allowed in city limits without circus permits.
    2. I could get an electric scooter and cart, but that wouldn't hold much and would only go so fast making delivery a longer, harder process that may endanger fragile items.
    3. I could get a business partner who drives.
    4. I could get my licence and a vehicle.
  • Although I have plenty of book learning, I don't have nearly enough hands on experience to be 100% confidant solo.
    1. Go Woofing. 
  • I'll need a lot more money then I currently have for land and start up costs. The set-up alone will be a big chunk and then I'll need operating capital for the first year till the food starts coming in.
    1. Scrimp and save for the next 3 years. (Probably not enough)
    2. Find an investor
    3. Get help from the small business centre to apply for government loan and grant options.
  • I don't know if I can physically do all the labour required by myself
    1. Find a business partner
    2. Rope friends and family into joining my on this adventure
    3. Hire help (maybe later on when bigger?)
  • I am a bit out of shape. I'll need to be fit to work effectively.
    1. I'm going to use the No-S diet and a schedule of dancing and body weight exercises to get back into peak condition
  • I'm going to need a rifle for wildlife control and emergency use
    1. Get licence & train on use

That's about it for now but I'm sure I'll think of more later. Goodnight world and sweet dreams.
