I would like you to read this story, it gave me the inspiration to build this business.
Let me tell you a quick story about how my friends business partner, ripped him off for his share in the business,
Brian had met George some two years before they went into business together, they met at a London food fair, they both got on really well and discovered they had similar business ideas.
Opening some sort of food business.
After much deliberation they decided on a kosher Deli, to serve the Jewish community in north London.
Brian is younger than George, but he had served in the Israeli army, he had quite a pot of money saved up.
So had money to invest in the venture, George was older than Brian and wiser, but only had a small amount to invest,
Anyway, they found their premises and after a lot of hard work, they opened a nice little deli, which was doing really well.
After a few months Brian fell ill and was hospitalized for a long time, George was left to run the shop, or so Brian thought.
When he finally came out of the hospital, he went to the deli, there he found to his astonishment the place was closed, no sign of George.
He thought it strange that George only came to see him when he wanted Cheques signed, but he trusted him implicitly.
Turning the key in the door he entered the Deli, to find most of the stock was gone, the fittings and fridges, etc. all gone, no power.
All the hard work and money he had invested for what. He went to look for George, he could not find him anywhere,
George had moved on, he went to the only place he could think of, the betting shop, he knew George liked a little bet.
He was informed by the manager that George owed him money to, it became obvious that he had gambled the business into the ground.
When looking at the books, Brian discovered that the taxman and other creditors had not been paid.
He now had a big problem, as he was responsible for paying it back, as he had a limited partnership and with no working shop and little capital, Brian did not know what to do, he locked himself in his flat for over a week, in a fit of depression.
He had folded given up.
The strange thing was, it was a simple quote that made him fightback from the brink, when scrolling through Facebook, he read a post, which said.
“Prosperity only returns when pessimism is replaced by optimism
and people become heroic, not helpless”
The next thing that Brian has done, truly inspired me, he gathered himself up and faced opening the door of that shop, then he called all his creditors, and asked them for time to pay.
Gathering up the stock that he had left, he proceeded to try and sell it, he could not use the shop, so he went through the yellow pages and the internet, to find customers who might be interested, selling many items at a loss, in order to raise the cash flow he needed.
It took a while, but he managed to raise enough money to open that shop again. The most admiring thing about it all was that he has done it all of this on his own, especially after suffering such a bad time.
Brian Is a very proud sort of person and so he should be, for taking the action he did and winning through. His shop was a success and to top it all he got married a year later.
I just had to share this story, especially in the times we are going through,
the lesson I take from Brian’s story is we must not give in, we must look for a solution, diversify is the word I was looking for.
While thinking about Brians story and the times we are experiencing I wondered how We could help others to survive and prosper, including ourselves,
I have come up with an affordable system for those in business who want to reach their customers and obtain an asset that will drive them forward into the future, something that can be used now and used when this is all over. Like Brian, we to must find a way to keep going and prosper.
