I was talking to myself for some time this morning about setting up a business with my friend. I haven’t even spoken to her about it yet, so I don’t know if she even wants to do it, but I had already figured out in my mind what each of our roles would be. I can’t get this idea out of my head that we should definitely give this a go because neither of us has got anything to lose. I just have no idea of how to write a business plan or do the financial projections. I think I have a basic idea, as I’ve organised small music events before and quite enjoyed it. I have a couple of other friends who would be willing to help out as well so I wouldn’t be entirely on my own.
I just worry that this is a hypomanic phase because I always seem to get very ambitious when I’m like this. Nothing seems impossible and I have a million ideas floating around inside my head at any given time. I’ve been doing a lot of research online into setting up a small business and I know it won’t be easy and we won’t make a lot of money overnight, but what are my options right now? Carry on working for people who pretend to care about me and end up being let down time after time, or do I actually put myself first for a change?
