Binary Guy will be a franchise available to the open public for applications within a month or so.
Once all the paperwork is done, I’ll be posting up for those who are interested in applying for a franchise.
Details will follow but if you are looking for a techie business, keep an eye out on local franchise shows that I’ll soon be attending.
Any other info, please feel free to e-mail me.
Well, this is going swell. That was typed in the truest sense of the word.
So my current work contract was extended 1 month. No biggie, I had been planning on doing Binary Guy full time any ways. Seems my prayers are being answered.
Here are the 4 things that have popped up:
1/ Out of the blue, I get a call from Tilsonburg (about 2hrs from me) asking if I can take care of a customer of theirs that had moved to Mississauga. Sure! While this may seem minor, let me elaborate.
When my work contract was extened one month, I asked for two things. The first beign that it be done under my business (they refused) and the second that I only work mon-thur (they agreed). So here it was, a friday and I get this call. What are the odds that I would get a call on the only day off I had specifically for my business? Pretty slim, just another indication I was on the right track. So I did the work, the company I helped was great, bought me lunch and was very pleased that I had their problem fixed in 45mins. I spent a total of 2 hrs there just talking with them about various things and learned some of their business. It was a great way to make a quick buck and boost my business reputation 
2/ Again, out of the blue a friend of mine e-mails me a job opportunity in another city. I am fully qualified and it is basically what I was planning on doing with Binary guy, going around to various facility fixing problems. The pay listed was pretty damned good. I figure I’d apply and when it works out, I’ll just keep Binary Guy part-time and develop the franchise idea more.
3/ So last Sunday I’m at a friend’s place, he tells me that his company (currently sub-contracted by Toyota) is looking for someone to do some Tier 1 tech support for Toyota because noone else wants it. I say yes, submit some rough proposal rates from my business. Again, got a nice ‘in’ for working for a very large corporation under my business.
4/ A friend of mine e-mails me asking if I would be interested in simply making an invoice for some data recovery on a HD that a business he knows and they want an invoice for business expense. He offers a ‘good chunk’ of the amount he charges them, again I say yes.
Who knows what else will be coming down the pipeline. Seems that opportunities are endless!
BTW, if you happen to need some computer work, I’ve got a line on a guy who just so happens to be reeeeeal good at it
Having been active around technology for almost 30 years, and seeing many people failing to grasp both it’s importance as well as it’s basic usage, I decided it was high-time to show the world how idiotic they can be. People simply need to have a bigger vision of the tools that have been given to them.
