Some businesses sell you crap; others help you deal with your crap
It’s happened to everyone………..You’re visiting someone; you go to use the facilities and let’s just say when you are done, there’s an odor. You look left, right, up, down, in the closets, and under the sink. Phew! There it is….. the Passion-Cinnamon-Mango-Sunburst-Floral-Bouquet Spray
Adrift in Manhattan rip Lifeforce movie download You grab the spray. Spray here. Spray there. And now you have the smell of Passion-Cinnamon-Mango-Sunburst-Floral-Bouquet Crap!
Well that ain’t gonna happen to me no more………….Now that I have Poopourri! It’s a spray you spray before you do your business. I met the company owner just the other day at the NY International Gift Fair. I never saw someone so excited over her business – the business of crap! Suzy, I love your spirit!
But think about this for a moment……..this is a problem. And that’s how businesses get started. A problem is identified and a better or new solution is developed. And often times it is a solution to an odd or taboo topic that takes a marketplace by storm.
Think about your workplace. What are the problems you or your company solve? And are you excited about the problem(s)?
I love when I receive a call from an Director of Human Resources or a Vice President of Something telling me that employee morale is down or the staff could use a pat an the back or a bit of recognition that for some reason does not appear genuine when it comes from within the organization. I love being able to remind people that they are valued, how much they really are needed, and how they can make their days a bit more fun and productive. All businesses solve problems.
So if someone can make a business out of the problem of crap, what can you or your company do or add to its existing offerings? Go sit down and think about it for a bit.
And for those of you who think yours doesn’t stink…………………
Here’s some other cool people I met and had fun with that day. They sell some really fun, cool crap – and in a good way: Phenominoes - where Sandy gave me a free piece of domino painted jewelry (it’s in my badge holder in picture below); Urban Butik - where I got to play with the coolest cake slicer/server, and Maileg – where Hannah and I compared hats:
