Gimmie

Its been some time since we posted on the blog ......school holidays and too many ideas are the main excuses. Anyway Bill and I have set ourselves a new challenge for this week and we are going public to force us to deliver!

We recently went to an Entrepreneurs Summit organised by Chris Cardell. It was quite an experience. In fact Bill described it to a recent visitor to acreativespace as the most spiritual experience he has had for a long time! We came away fired up and full of ideas....almost too full and it feels as though we have had indigestion for the last five weeks. The problem has been where to start....

Quite honestly we have been floundering around for the last few weeks. Bill was away and then I was away and when we both got back we found ourselves sinking under a mountain of material we had subscribed to in our enthusiasm at the Summit. 

Gradually the fog has been clearing and yesterday we returned to the BIG IDEA we arrived at during the Summit. A de-stress pendant. Bill woke up with the idea on the morning of the final day of the Summit. 

We have had a number of people mention the Q-Link pendant to us over the past few months. As a golfer, Bill was already aware of this product as it is worn by a number of professional golfers. He realised that with the creative space programme we can run an individually tailored de-stress programme into an e-pendant. It becomes a simple product. A user can then chose to top-up the pendant at a later date if they chose. 

As I said we then went down with a major case of indigestion/ovewhelm! But over the last week we have been coming across more and more examples of products similar to the Q-Link. Daily we were finding ourselves on a web site for the Q-Link or the quantum pendant and then David Beckham turned up wearing a Power Balance Band...... ok we get the message. Time to launch our de-stress pendant.

Earlier in the year I set myself the challenge of creating a new business in four days using the creative space programme. It felt like it was time to repeat the challenge. So we are going to create the new de-stress pendant business in four days. Not only will this focus our energy but at the end of the process we will be launching a new intensive four day programme for anyone wanting to create a new business.
