Cant keep a good guy

Can’t keep a good guy down!

Some readers may remember Alex Hobbs. He became quite famous a few years ago owing to his stunning success at Business Studies A level. Since then he’s been studying in America and trying to come up with various business schemes. Currently he is working  for Delaware North Companies and their work at Wembley Stadium.

About 6 months ago he put a business idea to me. ‘You were supposedly Britain’s highest paid teacher – what do you think of this?’ he said.

I poo-pooed his idea saying it would never work.

Alex has just written to me saying:

“I also wanted to draw your attention to the following link. You remember when I was in the states and had the idea of businesses all working together to put a %age of their profits into a big pot to be shared out amongst charities. You know? The one you said wouldn’t work?!
Well guess what?
The idea I ROCK!!!”

This shows that you can have a good idea but without the necessary backing it may never happen …a useful place to start is startups.

That’s enough to make you think…
