See what other people are doing

  • When taking out the trash I took a glance at the stickers on the walls next to the entrance. Here is what they are offering:
  1. Massages (25€ per hour + 15€ for a face massage...Still I can't help but wonder how much Sasho charges for erotic massages. I bet ladies over 60 just adore him).
  2. Instructions for less gifted students...10€ per hour...and not worth my nerves. Explaining how to solve x + 2 = 6 for the tenth time is probably a blast.
  3. Moving services...great business. The problem is that most people forget about the amortization of their spinal column.
  4. Same applies for painters, carpenters, wood workers...the only difference is that they should also amortize lungs.
  5. Adventure agency which takes you to exotic trips to hills and dips around Ljubljana each weekend. I like the idea, but hate its marketing approach.
  6. So if I were to choose one of these professions, I'd be a plumber. Lest work for most added value.

Sinergy (or when people work together)

Facilitating (climber) needs

  • Climbers aren't generally rich. But they spend quite a lot of money on their equipment, beer and in some cases accommodation.
  • So I can't understand some local landowners of estates near climbing walls, why they are refusing to create some extra revenue form their visits. At the moment they are, by rule either trying to get money of them the easiest (most ineffective) way - charge them for parking or are trying to get rid of these weird people. Here are a few of mine win-win ideas:
  1. Let them park for free, but sell them beer and put a free donation box for maintenance there.
  2. Open a "hostel" (upgrade your barn a bit). Make it cheap, but get the revenue by selling hot showers...
  3. Put free benches and other relaxation facilities on site (similar to relaxation benches on Šmarna gora or at the coast). Make sure they have enough ads of climbing equipment printed on them. And that these shops pay for them, because it is in the end the best way to really get in touch with your future customers.
  4. Sell that piece of land to someone who will actually know how to use it and buy something peaceful elsewhere.
