Listening to my itunes while working away the Sultans of Swing by Dire Straights starts playing… some lyrics struck a chord. (as always, pun intended)

“… and Harry doesn’t mind if he doesn’t… make the scene….

                                            He’s got a day time job, he’s doin’ alright.”

Single Minded Proposition - Ruby Red Runners

I stumbled across a great and simple start up business.

They rent out very high quality red carpet runnerrs – That’s it. You don’t get any more single minded than that.

They’re delivered in roll up bag which you simply unzip and roll out the carpet.

Start up costs seem to be pretty low as well. A few high quality carpets, a clean website (www.rubyredrunners.com.au) and some word of mouth to high end hotels, private jet airlines, wedding organizers, glitzy carnivals and private parties for the well healed.

Just imagine how ‘honored’ you’d feel if your spouse hired a ruby red runner to welcome you home one night after work!
