I have just been made aware (by my 11 year old no less), of a business that utilises a labour force which pays it to work!
We all (hopefully) agree that slavery is wrong, forcing someone to work for you for no money so that you may profit is immoral right? Well how about getting someone to work for you and then getting that person to pay you for the privilege, and what's more, they're more than willing to do so and even thank you for the opportunity, or rather "experience".
I'm talking about truffle hunting. A business whereby you invite people along to come and hunt truffles, they pay you a couple of hundred pounds or dollars depending on your location, they find your product for you, which you sell (mainly to them) and then they go away with a tiny sample and a huge smile on their faces.
It's incredible, you get people to work for you, dress it up as an experience and they pay you!!!
Of course the problem with starting a business like this, is you'll need some land, so it got me thinking; are there any other areas we could apply this "voluntary slavery" model?
Let the brainstorm begin!
