With my feet nice and warm and the rest of my body cold from the chilly A/C, I got a brilliant idea.
I do some of my best thinking at the beauty salon. I work in marketing, but make most of my money through investments. I like to sink some capital into small businesses for a percentage of the ownership. This is always a risk, because if the small business fails then I lose my investment money. But when it pays off, I can make a lot of money quickly. Anyway, I got my bright idea while getting my toes painted at the beauty salon. I was relaxing in the chair, with my feet in the warm bath. It was perfect, because I was lucky enough to get the pedicure chair located directly under the air vent. With my feet nice and warm and the rest of my body cold from the chilly A/C, I got a brilliant idea. This was the best chair in the salon because of that air vent… So what if there was an air vent over every chair? That would mean every chair was “the best chair in the salon.” After my toes were painted and dried I walked to the manager’s office and pitched her my idea about the air vents. The manager didn’t have enough money for that, because remodeling the HVAC system and the ductwork would cost several thousand dollars. I told her that I would invest money into the salon and pay for all the HVAC work personally, if I was made a part owner. I am still waiting to hear back from her, but if she passes on it then I will just take my brilliant air vent idea to another salon!
