I'm going in alone

Just wanted to share this....

A few years back. I was thinking of doing a BBQ cook book with my cousin. The idea came about when friends and family really liked some of the stuff we were doing.

So we said screw it, let's give it a shot and so we started doing a couple photo shoots with a photographer friend who's payment was some good eats. Plus, it was a fun time.

However, over time the buzz began to wear off no matter how fun it might have been, trying to motivate my cousin wasn't easy. I think he only did one photo shoot with us.

Whatever the excuses may have been, his heart wasn't into it. I still had some fire left but it just didn't feel right doing it by myself since all the ideas involved both of us.

I guess I could've gone forward alone but chose not to and that was the end of that. I don't have any ill feelings towards my cousin for not wanting to follow through.

I was just a little disappointed at the time because I thought we could've done something pretty cool and maybe even made a few bucks along the way.

But on a positive note, since joining WA I got some creative juices flowing I still do have those pictures and got some ideas kicking. So those pictures will see the light of day again and won't die in vain lol!

Since then, I told myself next time I start a business, I'm doing it alone only depending on myself until I feel the need to scale or outsource. But yes, this time around I'm betting on me.
