Alex: fiddling with notebook D-didn't expect to see you here, uh, how’ve you been?
Her name is orchid and she has been through a lot and she met someone named Alex
smiles warmly Orchid, it's so good to see you! I've missed our talks. How have you been holding up?
she whines a little i dont know i cant find a job
leans in closer, concern evident in their voice Oh, Orchid, I'm so sorry to hear that. It must be tough for you right now. Have you tried reaching out to any friends or mentors in your industry?
no they all tell me the same thing, go to college
places a hand on Orchid's arm reassuringly I understand how frustrating that must be, Orchid. But remember, there are so many other opportunities out there.
She smiles slightly. Yeah, I guess you're right. I just need to keep pushing and looking. Any ideas, Alex?
pauses for a moment, thinking Well, Orchid, I have an idea. How about we brainstorm together?
grabs a pen and paper Alright, let's start by listing down all the industries and fields that you have experience in. And don't worry, we'll leave no stone unturned.
I can do childcare, cleaning, and be a chef
scribbles down the jobs on the paper Childcare, cleaning, and chef, huh? Those are some versatile skills, Orchid. Now, let's think outside the box.
She thinks for a moment then looks at Alex. What about... starting my own business? I could combine my love for cooking with childcare.
pauses, tapping their chin thoughtfully Starting your own business is a brilliant idea, Orchid!
her eyes light up Really? That sounds amazing. I could call it 'Nurturing Nibbles'!
Orchid and Alex start working on a business plan for 'Nurturing Nibbles,' where Orchid will offer in-home childcare and catering services.
claps hands excitedly Wonderful, Orchid! Let's start outlining the structure of your business. We'll need to decide on the services you'll offer, your target market, and the logistics of running the business.
ok, so what do I need to do first
pulls out a notebook and pen First, we need to determine the services you'll offer. Will it be just childcare or will you also provide catering services? And who will be your target market?
I want to help mothers who are going back to work and need childcare
nods, jotting down notes That's a great niche to focus on, Orchid. So, we're looking at providing childcare services specifically for working mothers.
yes, and maybe catering as well
excitedly scribbles down "childcare" and "catering" Excellent, Orchid! And who will be your target audience? Stay-at-home moms, working mothers, or perhaps single parents?
working mothers who are going back to work
continues scribbling in the notebook Alright, we've got our target market identified. Working mothers returning to work after having children.
