Formula Fun

April 25, 2012

Doing business doesn’t have to be dull. I meet every so often with a couple of women and we try to help each other get to where we are trying to get to. Marina wanted to create an animation series that tapped into the passion that her son and husband have for motor racing. So she sold her house, used the money to make a thirty second trailer, won an award at The Cannes Film Festival and then raised several million pounds to make the series…well you do don’t you? I saw her yesterday and she reminded me that the business is called Formula Fun and that the ‘fun’ is the crucial ingredient of her business. The other lady is Dawn, who wants to get business and public places to adopt the principles of Feng Shui, but it seemed a bit too serious for a lot of people so she has repackaged the principles in a programme called Fun Shui. So, I thought why shouldn’t I put a bit of fun in my life? I wanted to take The School of Curiosity on the road, so on Sunday night, I went on Ebay and purchased ‘Clementine’ a forty year old V Dub Campervan.

Fun and business can go together. Any thoughts?
