Get Rich Quick. Urm...

Ok, so the choice of car is taking a backseat while I work out other stuff. Also because I've sort of said I'll buy Robs Grey Mondeo.

When I decided I didn't want to stay on St Helena I had grand ideas about being self employed and living in a Caravan. Now it's becoming a reality I'm applying for jobs and looking at Flats... Doh.

The problem with being self employed is that you have to be good at something that other people will pay you for. Somewhere along the line the need for money has to take over.

  • I thought about buying and selling stuff using Ebay or similar, but it seems far too easy to lose money.
  • I thought about making stuff to sell. But every idea I have falls foul of mass produced stuff at much lower prices. And I can't sell the idea of Hand Made Craftsmanship, cause I no good at that type of thing.
  • I looked into making money online doing various things. But it looks like you actually have to work very hard, or be very good, or be very lucky, or be able to programme.
  • I've thought about trying to set up a touristy business with a cafe and campsite and shop and stuff. But it looks like hard work and I tooo lazy.
So the Get Rich Quick plan is out the window and I'm back to Get Rich Slow, which works, but invovles having a Job.
