I had forgotten about AcMo's dossant™project until I happened to find the recipe inside one of my notebooks. It hurt a bit more than normal to see the recipe because I was hungry at the time, and a dossant™would have been the perfect snack. Unfortunately for my appetite and the general public, the dossant™dream evaporated.
Our failure to procure Easy Bake ovens was too great to overcome. The program had been on life support since that debacle, but it can no longer be sustained. Everyone at AcMo is devastated by this setback. The ability to join another market sector was tantalizing. AcMo was so close to becoming the complete one-stop shop for everything, and the dossant™bakery would have played a pivotal role in our success.
We will now develop a new strategy to compensate for this loss. It is unlikely it will be food related as the market is too brutal for us. There is also the threat of FDA intervention in food industry projects. We are looking for opportunities with diminished regulatory restrictions. We have our limits.
Even now my mind is tricking me into remembering the sweet, savory, and fluffy yet full-bodied taste of a perfectly cooked dossant™. While I never managed to get an oven hot enough to test the recipe, I'm confident it was delicious. How could it not be with all of the wonderful ingredients involved? Looking at this list is making me hungry. It sucks that I don't know how to cook (edible) food with a 3D printer.
It's clear now that I shouldn't have ordered my chef's jacket before I had started cooking. While I'm not a chef with official culinary training, that doesn't mean I can't call myself a chef. I thought I was being proactive because people are more likely to buy a food item from someone who looks like a chef. I suppose I could have also used my lab coat, but that might send the message that I've been experimenting with your food. I have been experimenting with the food, but I don't need to broadcast that to the customers even though that message would be on point. I understand it has the potential to make people uncomfortable about eating it. We are all about full disclosure at AcMo, so the truth would be buried deep within the fine print for those who care to search for it.
One negative aspect of dreams is that they are hard to fulfill and easy to kill. The dossant™dream came closer to production than some of the others, but I don't think that alleviates the pain of defeat. The other thing about dreams is that there is always another one waiting to be transformed into reality. All it takes is a belief in your dream, determination, and major backing from an international conglomerate. Fortune 500 businesses aren't just businesses, they are dream producers. The hard part is tricking one or several to invest in your dreams.
I am trying to close my mind to any food market opportunities so that we can focus on maximizing the businesses in our core competencies, but my actual need for food is forcing me to think of nothing else. It doesn't help that every other sentence in this post mentions food, which just makes it harder to remove the thought from my mind.
An idea that just arrived holds some promise. We could get involved in food redistribution. We already have a prototype transport system that redirects food traveling to your local grocery store to a grocery store more convenient for us. We would then be able to provide fresher food to our clients and staff at a much more affordable price point. Well, it would be free for us, we would just be able to charge the same or slightly less and return a much greater profit. That sounds to me like capitalism at its finest.
Business is so much fun when you do it right. Once again we have been able to turn a colossal failure into a minor one with some creative thinking and a swift pivot. If an organization of our size can change direction with such swiftness, why can't your business be as nimble and agile? If you're having trouble answering that question, AcMo Consulting can teach you how to pivot like a ballerina. Bring your own tutu.
