Who Said This Would be Easy?

I don’t think I should tell anyone this economy is troublesome and many folks have been having a pretty hard time. I lost my position about 4 months back when the plant where I was employed closed down two of their production lines and my bro in law, Barney got his pink slip last month when his company commented they were closing the doors completely.

Both of us spent a fair period of time and effort looking for new roles but with no luck. However, we were clear on the fact that we continue to needed income to pay our bills and support our families so Barney and I determined to go into business for ourselves.

We had no clear idea on what this effort would be as my only real skill and experience was in producing washing machines and Barney had worked as a quality control inspector at a candy factory. However, my young neighbor convinced us that rap music, rappers and that hip hop way of life was the latest growth trend in our culture today. Now I must admit that both Barney and I agree the entire’rapper scene’ is just plain dumb but if it earns money then who are we to argue.

Somehow we made a decision to go after the jewelry segment of the hip hop market with the plan that we could start off rather small and just offer our merchandise for sale at flea markets till we could afford to open a real store. So, our next task was to find a manufaturer hip hop jewelry outlet.

We quickly discovered that we had a major problem in that we were a new business with no track record and no credit score which implied that no-one would sell us any inventory excepting money. They were all extremely respectful to reassure us that credit purchases would be available after we were established but it was all going to be COD at the beginning. We started scrambling then to find a guaranteed fast cash loan.

Well, we ultimately got our money together. Not particularly as much as we wanted but enough to at least buy some starter inventory and get the project rolling and we had also found some promising wholesale outlets that we thought we could deal comfortably with. However, none of these wholesale vendors was in out town so we were going to require to go which meant making airline and hotel reservations.

Getting the airline reservations was very easy and most of the hotels now subscribe to some kind of online booking software that made dealing with them also pretty simple.
