What kind of small business are you in Bricket?

I basically am in several branches: I invest in small business start-ups and most of the time I get my investment paid back with a nice profit.

You must be a gambling man, good to hear profits are more often than not.

Well, I started with a small budget of €1000 and now the numbers are getting higher. It's fun to do but it also has a serious downside.
Sometimes I just simply have to tell people that they are simply not profitable: they have the best ideas but it always hurts to see their face after you told the bad news.

That's too bad, I hope they understand it's business not personal. Return on investment is the only goal.


I would give them a more hopeful and positive approach to re-work their business model or product scope. If they come up with something better then you can talk investments but until then, protecting your own money is what's important to you and thank them for their consideration.

Business is not always the most fun thing but you can do a lot by it.
Most of the time you see that with the gained capital you gave to them a lot of people can do beautifull things with it.
