starting to think about what my biz needs to do....

I have carried a piece of paper around with me since 1998 - it is part of a template by John Paul Getty for analysing business opportunities.

He says 'there are six points for business success'
  • a) be in business yourself
  • b) sell products that are in demand
  • c) give better service than your competitors
  • d) reward those who do the work
  • e) build your success on the success of others
He also says '4 things constitute the ideal business'
  • a) it makes money right away
  • b) it will develop a residual income
  • c) the business has room to expand
  • d) has access to goods and services with minimal stock holding
My aim is to create a business that will not only tick these boxes but others such as my 'style a life' needs - ie run on 15 child free hours pw, flexibiity.

Hi Cindy,

I've just read through your blog to date. Many woman and mothers would relate to how you are feeling and I think you really could inspire many people with this blog. The content is interesting and useful. I find it fascinating watching you on your journey to another successful Business Venture. As a previous employee of yours - I know your passion, dedication and determination. Three key ingredients to happiness and success.

I'll be here to support you and I wait anxiously to see what's on the menu because my family and I still talk about those SENSATIONAL Passionfruit Butterbursts from L&M days....... Yummo!!!

I'll certainly be spreading the word and making sure people know about LUK by Cindy Luken.

Love Sal xo
