The plan was to build a beautiful Trike for £1000 in 6 months. Well im still within the financial budget... but i am well over the time budget.
Its been a whole year since i did anything on the trike.. A WHOLE YEAR! and everytime i go into my garage I tell the sorry looking pile of mechnicals that "I haven't forgotten you", "I'm coming back to you" which is still all true - I WILL be back and this trike is going to be better than ever
So why havent I done anything on the poor thing for over a year? Well the first thing was building my office shed - it was a bigger project than i originally thought it would be, and it took many of my weekends to get to a point where i could work in it..... which then meant that many of my subsequent weekends were spent working in there. I set up my own innovation consultancy and work took me away to far-flung places like Italy, Canada, India and Manchester
Its a poor excuse I know, that something was more important than building my trike.... and its an excuse I tend to address.... By leaving my regular job and focusing on my own business - which if all goes to plan will give me the R&R time for other interests.
