Hey there!
Just got my fireing letter today. I’ve been pondering launching my own venture for some time and think I am ready for it. The business world is, however, full of tall grass and it is dangerous to go alone so I’m putting it out there just in case:
Profile: background in risk mangement (natural hazards) / environmental engineering / civil infrastructures / land management. Side of mountain leading. Would pivot toward finances/insurances (by trying to leverage the risk management aspects).
Location: Valais/Wallis, would relocate for the right opportunity.
Languages: fluent in French, fairly proficient in English, low B level in German (need to practice but I’ll have time for it. Count 6 months for getting up to a level suitable for business relationships).
Business ideas:
- civil/environmental/land management private practice ;
- “life” coaching (survivalism through life in nature, financial skills, fitness, art to say no and not give a f*uck, networking → building confidence in order to shine in life).
- mountain leading (also with various potential themed tours, like Switzerland or Earth history.
- house flipping venture.
- open to other ideas in several fields so get them coming.
Feel free to drop me a PM if you’d like to explore possibilities (independent business venture isn’t a hard requirement, I’m open to working in a business under the right circumstances). I’ll gladly travel to meet you and have a chat around a coffee/beer.
ride, a hike with him and a typical meal. I thought that that would be a neat thing to do around here too and people really seem to love it and be ready to pay top prices for it too. I think for them it’s a whole day but for him only a couple of hours (the time of the hike), so I guess you could even organise two out three of them on the same day if you shuffel the timings around. Could basically be anything from a transitory job to a side hustle to a full time job.
