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.
- I could just use a horse, but horses aren't allowed in city limits without circus permits.
- 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.
- I could get a business partner who drives.
- 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.
- 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.
- Scrimp and save for the next 3 years. (Probably not enough)
- Find an investor
- 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
- Find a business partner
- Rope friends and family into joining my on this adventure
- Hire help (maybe later on when bigger?)
- I am a bit out of shape. I'll need to be fit to work effectively.
- 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
- 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.
