The sign on the door of opportunity reads PUSH!!

This has been on my heart and in my dreams for some years and now i am starting to see it unfold before me in seed form. This seed/vision being a Didgeridoo business.

The Vision
It has been a long term desire of mine to create and sell my own handmade Didge/Yidaki
but have never pursued this heart pull until recently when I had a vision of a shop which quiet frankly looked like a hobbits art gallery but instead of art on the walls there were didgeridoo's, Very few didge's on display but the best of the best,the cream of the crop being lit by spot lights in-front of stoney whitewashed walls, Instantly i knew that this is what i'm suppose to be doing with myself.

The First Breath
After a month of mulling upon this idea/vision the enormity started to hit me, I have no experience in making didge's let alone trying to sell them and where was i going to get the money and skills to achieve this didge empire, then I decided to get in contact with a well respected Yidaki company in Queensland Australia and asked them if it would be ok if they would be my wholesaler and they said 'Yes' to my surprise, I'm only going to wholesale into the U.K as a short term plan until I get enough experience in didgecraft to create my own pieces of art. Now where am I going to get this money from? Currently I am working with the Princes trust, drawing up business plans and thinking about marketing skills and attending courses but through all these things they can possibly help me receive funding through a grant or long term loan.Fingers crossed. Until the business starts to grow I will be selling via the internet going under the name Didgebag possibly...

This is early days and who knows what is going to happen but i'l keep you all posted on how things are progressing. Lets hope this seed grows into a tree bearing lots of fruit.
