Mette Holbæk om Succes For Selvstændige

D’damer, 

Lad os gå lige til sagen: Der findes mange røvsyge websites, du kan bruge dine velbeskattede kroner på, men Ex-Boyfriend Jewelry med undertitlen You Don’t Want It. He Can’t Have It Back er ikke et af dem. Her sælger primært amerikanske ladies de smykker, tasker, solbriller og andre dyre sager, som de har fået af mænd, der i de fleste tilfælde senere viste sig at være løgnagtige, utro tølpere eller det, der er værre (i enkelte tilfælde er der også tale om bare ‘at vokse fra hinanden’). 

De flinke mennesker bag sitet beder naturligvis om historien bag gaven, og hvorfor hun vil af med den – the scoop – og de detaljer giver begrebet storytelling en ny og saftig dimension. Her er blot plukket med løs hånd:

“I’ll keep it short and sweet, I waste 5 years on someone who cared more about his tractor then his girlfriend…Need to get rid of this bracelet….”

Eller hvad med denne klassiker (desværre):

“Same old story, fiance went on a guys weekend, slept with a hooker (literally) then lied about it for 2 years until a friend told me 3 weeks before the wedding.”

Og damerne mangler ikke en humoristisk tilgang til kærlighedslivets mere unhappy endings:

“I was with a guy for almost a decade who made it his goal to tell me everyday what was wrong with me and how no one else would want me but he was willing to tolerate me. I did everything wrong from how i did the dishes to the way I cleaned the house, (and worked a full time job) yet apparently not bad enough for him to get off his a** and pause his video games long enough to show me what I was doing that was so wrong.

AND no matter how many things I changed, he always found another thing that made me so worthless. After all the changing, I realized the only thing I needed to change was him! So I’m selling all of his “I’m sorry” gifts so I can move to a state he does not live in because now the same person who used to “tolerate me” is stalking me! Please help my cause!”

Eller den, der ligesom ikke er så meget at gøre ved: Honey, I’m gay:

“I was married and then my husband found out that he liked men more than women and moved out. Which left me with these rings!!! But now, after much time has passed, I am ready to let go and am getting married to a wonderful man in December. He’s handy and everything!! lol. I am going to use the money from the ring to help pay for our honeymoon.”

Gør dig selv en god, lang tjeneste og besøg http://www.exboyfriendjewelry.com/ allerede i din næste frokostpause. So much fun!

Pointen i øvrigt? Well, udover at det er niche, der i den grad træder ud, så lad det også være en inspiration til, at din næste forretningsidé sagtens kan komme ud af noget helt nært. Noget, der sker lige her, i alles liv, med mellemrum. Det er ligesom ikke tilfældigt, at det er en sikker forretning at være bedemand, vel?

Okay, måske går I to aaaaaldrig fra hinanden, men det er der jo heldigvis nogle andre der gør med mellemrum.

Hvad kan du finde på til dem? Og de andre, der går i klinch med livet?
