Plan B

[Amiga500]

I think a plan B should involve food, as everyone likes food. This article discusses this a bit further:

Yeah, the market for food is definitely huge.

My plan B will involve something I love as I am already doing something that is well paid.

Travel I think, looking at the 10 year plan B.

HTH

Good luck to all with getting out of the Rat Race

How do you propose to make a living from travel? Writing? If you are a biker as your name suggests, that could be a good slant on it.

The Hairy Bikers have already done the travelling biker foody thing.

It is a slant on travel and photography.

I am not looking to be rich, as that is why I am doing the Tulip I am doing now.

I just want to be happy and out in the open air.

But I am in no hurry, I will have lots of fun trying and if it doesn't work I will think up a plan C

Excellent. You should do it. There's always a market for good travel books and the biker aspect should make it stand out from the crowd.

As a former journo and photographer I have often though of doing something similar, but I don't have the 'hook' that gets into a specific target market, whereas it sounds like you have.

Have you pitched the idea to any publishers?

Someone here has been recommending investing in agricultural commodities for ages - oh, yeah; it was me.

Ops, I'm not allowed to say that. If anyone asks, it wasn't me.

No but I was talking to a chap about a couple of PhotoEssays recently.

Apparently the re-sale potential is significant

Yes. Good way to get a name too. Magazines are always looking for that kind of material.

Good luck with it. Beats this boring IT crap.
