Work from Home Business idea - three.

I thought that you guys might like to see one of my offline business ideas

What I really like about this business idea is that you can get started TODAY.
There are not many businesses that you can start up and be running at a profit at the end of the first day.
It is a service business.
This is what you will need to do.....
You go and have a meeting with the management of a retirement village, or old age home.
You agree on a percentage that you will pay for the rights to run your service business with the residents of the place.
Then you write up a carefully worked out price list for being a "runner" for the residents.
What you will be offering to do is to do the running back and forth to the drugstore / chemist, or the supermarket, or the, or the, .......
Then you set a day of the week when you offer really great rates, as you will be doing very many from that village in one trip.
You also offer a higher price to do special trips, say to collect things from family members, or to drop of x rays at specialists.
The third level fee is for after hours where you need to do emergency things.
Naturally in the beginning you will not be very busy, but as time goes on and the residents learn to rely on the fact that you are always there every Tuesday morning, they will begin trusting you. Pretty soon you will be going from room to room compiling up a list that will keep you busy.
You will need to be a very organized and efficient person to make this business work. The quicker you are able to get in and out the grocery store the bigger your profits will be.
If you avoid the long chatting sessions, and go about your job with a friendly smile you will never be without work.
Obviously the relationship that you have with the management is crucial, as they have the ability to have you kicked out or banned from the property. However equally if they get involved with you from the very beginning they have the power to make you a success from the very first day.
Once you have one village running smoothly you will be able to add a second and then a third until you are unable to fit in any more. DO NOT take on more than you can handle as you will ruin your reputation and it is hard to repair.
Great, I hope this has made sense as I admit I feel a little scatty today, if you are confused then please contact me and we can discuss the idea further.
Finally if you implement this idea, please get the results to me as the real numbers will be a great help to others.
