Come up with a crazy business idea.
A non-profit,feel good making self-driving vehicle with selected “experts” to give advice on important decisions and to help with any chores around the house that anyone needed help with.
The Help Mobile stopped outside the small ,neatly painted wooden house with the small veranda. The path up to the house had weeds coming up through the paving slabs.
As Raz and Pellow hopped out of the vehicle ,the weeds were the first indication that all was not well.
When,on invitation by the sole occupant of the house;a frail old lady;they entered,they knew immediately what to do.Their job card on their work mobile had been quite specific,a leaking tap,help with chores and finally the path.
When they had finished ,they asked the lady to sign to say all the jobs had been completed to her satisfaction ,which she did with a smile and a nominal gratuity which was agreed on booking and was voluntary. It was what you could afford.
Raz was a lawyer, and Pellow was a plumber. There were all sorts of skills available from The Help Mobile. Anything from Chiropodists to Car Mechanics and Help was so quick in coming.It never took longer than three days for a booking to be completed.
Raz, though , worked with a number of clients and cases over a period of time. Legal issues could take months ,even years. He might visit the same site over a number of weeks or months and would get to know his clients,whereas Pellow tended to make a visit and then move on. His forte was fixing leaks,and once fixed, they rarely happened again.
It was all coordinated from Head Office,probably using an Artificial Intelligence System.
It worked well,even today ,where Raz’s lawyerly “listening skills” had helped with the lady’s concern with a dispute she was having with a neighbour.They chatted about the problem while Raz completed the pile of ironing the lady had struggled with due to her arthritic hands.
Both Raz and Pellow had started as volunteers because they felt it was something valuable to do. They had both been selected as permanent employees due to their flexibility and ability. It was lucrative enough for them to be happy with their life choice.
The Help Mobile helped them also. The Help Mobile took all the boring administration tasks,like payroll and insurance , away from them.
When they used to work for themselves, these mundane tasks would eat into valuable home and leisure time. Now , The Help Mobile allowed them to concentrate on what they were both good at and not work unreasonable hours.It was a win,win situation.
Every day was different. The Help Mobile had established it’s reputation,it was very often the first organisation people would call when they had a problem. There was no shortage of help needed,so the diary was always full.
