|
|
Well, if I had the nerve, I would be in the plumbing business for the strategic intent of joining the clean water revolution.
1. My initial cash flow would be in basic plumbing skills, fixing the old copper faucets on all the older 50 year old homes. The pipes and faucets are all going bad, and in high mineral areas, all pipes iron and copper, are corroding from the inside out.
2. My strategic aim would be to aim towards adding clean water filtration systems to every house in my area. Just add a filtration system to your own home, from the street line as it initially enters the home, and then an additional under-the-sink model to clean the drinking and “spaghetti-cooking water”.
3. The third element would be a water testing service, if not YOU being the laboratory itself, then partnering with the nearest, most reasonable testing service, FEDEXING/UPSing them samples.
I can think of no other single, massively healthy improvement a homeowner can do, but to clean up the drinking and cooking water of his own home.
After three months, the test unit you put into your own home may be dark asphalt brown or black due to the sediment collection alone. What people don’t talk about is the pollution to the water that is added AFTER the water comes into the home, which may include Glycol from the heating system (think I am kidding?).
Just take that brown and black filter around on your sales calls. Most municipalities will say... “Our drinking water is safe”, but the reality is, it is only as safe as the tap where it comes out, which may turn it into unhealthy grade water. It may contain chlorine, lead, iron, mercury, even fuel elements and pharmaceutical traces.
Horrifying as the reality is, there is no national law requiring the installation of these dual systems within a home, not YET anyways!!!
And note, someone like yourself could just specialize on the 2nd and third items, and team-up with known, reputable Plumbing personnel to kick them back 20% on all earned revenues from their leads.
And what are the two biggest names either already in water filtration, or just joining this water treatment explosion?
General Electric... and IBM!!! What does that tell you?
Bottom line, this is a major health issue in my opinion, and a massive growth area, but who can guarantee anything? Not me, unfortunately.

Side notes:
Guess who lives near these wonderful, amazing corporations?
And guess who worked for both companies as a graphics contract worker?
And guess who submitted to both companies, in 1994/1995 written suggestions to both companies for the "Smart" sensing systems that would be in the home of the future? (You know, some automatic sensing chip in a range of AC outlets or water/air outlets, that could detect Carbon monoxide, or radon, or mold, or smoke, or Amperage overload, or EMF presence, or Gas, or polluted water, and monitored all of these data collections points in some form of "Brilliant, IP Addressable, Circuit Breaker master controller")
We make the biggest investment of our lives in our homes, and it may indirectly kill us or make us unhealthy.
I presented it as "the Smart Home".
I say You do it, in your area, and I do it in mine.

|

Something curious is happening in my County, and it involves taking local acts, and professionally taping them, handing them a DVD or audio file, and even posting them on You Tube if they want. For a fee of course.
The other half of the story is that the daytime job of this place I think is a coffee shop/cafe with a liberal bent, sort of a Starbucks on love juice.
The idea is that there is so much local talent, virtually unknown, who want a professional touch of recording, audio and video, for placement on YouTube, which is obviously exploding, but they don't have the professional means to make it happen.
Hence, in your area, contract with the local coffee shop for some Saturday night space... daytime and lunch ... coffee, night-time "herbal bistro".
Don't lots of people now have more time on their hands, and wouldn't I love to hear local music from France, Germany, Spain, Liverpool, Italy, Trenchtown, and Dar el Baida (Casablanca)!
And on the note of local music...
Try this one... The Chariots, "Tell me ma"... I say stars are born,
