What to do now?

Evening all

Gradually moving myself away from the business......but what do I do next?Huh? Suggestions welcome, but must conform to this:

Interesting
Different
Something that can change the norm
Disruptive
Feels good

Profit is not the goal
Happy to loose money to do it
Have cash, resources and staff on hand to make it happen

Any help?

Doug

open to talk

My skill/resources/contacts are obviously of real benefit online....so it would make sense to have people wanting to use that.

But then if it sounds fun........

Try making a TV series?

Something to do with electric car refuelling stations?

Something else to do with green tech??

Are you just saying you want to move into a business venture that doesn't involve the internet??

I would build a eco-tourist resort somewhere nice, that way you get to take a self-financing holiday.
