Steep learning curve

Jo and I are motoring at the moment. Its been a steep learning curve on the market I am researching and it has been a real eye opener for both of us.

Unlike me however Jo has remained as cool as a cucumber about how we progress. I on the other hand have been like a child in a sweet shop with some of the research and some of the amazing people I am stumbling across.

Jo has been invaluable at keeping me focused on the business case and on putting together the numbers for the idea. Otherwise I may well have just remained on the research phase, gathering more and more information but not progressing any further.

We both have our fingers crossed that the numbers will stack up and that the research survey I am doing will throw up some more good news!

First Mentor Meeting

Jo and I had our first meeting, at her offices in St John's wood. We discussed our objectives and I think it sank in for both of us what a big task we had set ourselves.

Undaunted (in the main!) we agreed how exciting the journey could be for us both. We completely rewrote the objectives together and came up with a sensible but ambitious plan for the next six months.

Jo certainly helped bring me back down to earth on some of the assumptions I had made about the project, because I always presume EVERYONE understands sustainability and why its a no brainer in so many areas.

My task this week is doing research to prove that a market does exist for this idea, to help us start our journey............very exciting.
