Before I read TMF or Unscripted I was well into business, some of my ventures were successful but others were not amongst some of my successes was a barbershop, I partnered with someone for its opening. My partner wasn't the hands on type of guy he wasn't around much and I was mostly the one managing it. The barbershop hasn't seen any notable profits for 2 years and just recently Profits started coming in and business finally started doing good and then my partner who wasn't around much came in and told me to hand over the barbershop to one of his family members, he had deciding advantage cause he put in more money than I did.
Earlier this year I came across the TMF and thought internet, so I decided to open a WordPress site and started listing fashion suppliers in exchange for monthly payments but its been over 7 months the service hasn't proved to be a productocracy - the need isn't just strong enough to compel people to use the site. So I believe the market place has responded and its time to do something with a stronger need.
So I thought to myself I succeeded at managing the barbershop so why not venture into them and work on iteration and differentiation seeing I have some experience in that area and barbershops provide a day to day service to the community. I need to support my young brother, myself and other people so this is one of those high magnitude decisions. What can you say about it?
