For some reason, thought out my whole life, whenever things have been tough, something always seems to come along. I guess the most memorable instance of this was when I was running VCAB, the recession had just kicked in and business was bad. I was very close (about a month away) from having to declare bankruptcy , and losing everything, including the house... Then, out of the blue, one of my existing clients offered to buy the business. 

Some people call it luck, but I guess if it keeps happening, then it can't be luck, can it? Someone once said, "I'm a big believer in luck, in fact the harder I work, the more I have", which I couldn't agree with more.

So over the last few weeks, I've been focused on building up the So Easy Brand. It's a lot of work with no immediate reward, but hopefully in the early part of 2015, the sales should start flooding in.

And, again, out of the blue, an existing client just phoned up to enquire about fulfillment.  Now, over the last 5 years, I've been involved in a business selling music and film memorabilia (GreatGearStore.com) and we have a little warehouse where we manage all the picking / packing and posting of hundreds of items per day. A few years ago, we set up So Easy Fulfillment, offering a pick / pack solution for other customers. We've never pursued it as a business venture, as it's never been a priority, but bizarrely, over the last few weeks, this has been in the pipeline to get up and running for next year.

So, with the initial interest of the new Fulfillment client, it's given me that extra boost I needed to crack on with So Easy Fulfillment, and So Easy Commerce, and hopefully we will have some paying clients in the next month or so.

I know I always worry when things get tough, but deep down, I always believe that something will turn up, and it appears that it's happened again.

I'm confident now that in 6 - 12 months, I'll be pulling in a decent income across the So Easy Group from the following:

Exciting times

I've also got a meeting set up next week with a great designer, who will be doing all the designs for So Easy when I get new clients. The design side of the business has never been something I've enjoyed doing, so finding a great designer has, again, lifted my spirits, give me an extra buzz to go out and sell, knowing that the sites will look fantastic.
