First part of my final trade done!

With my final trade that is in progress with Allon, the blinds were installed this week Tuesday! Wynand and his team did a superb job, and were so precise and cleaned up the mess from the drilling. The roller blinds, in black blockout material, look awesome and it was so great to see the old mats that had been used to block some of the windows, being taken away to storage 🙂 I say a BIG THANK YOU to Wynand…

Help me choose a name

The final goal of the onematchstick story is to help Startup Entrepreneurs overcome the fear of failure, to become more courageous and bold in starting and growing their businesses. And it is to share the onematchstick office space with two Startup Entreprenuers, to help them get their businesses off the ground. It’s time to start this part, as the final trade with Allon for the office space is coming together so nicely! (We got news yesterday of a meeting with…

Updated Wish List for my final trade

My updated Wish List for my final trade I’m busy with some negotiations to try make my final trades happen, and in that process the Wishlist for the final trade with Allon has changed. Off that list comes carpets – as that fell through (see the story here.) And onto the list went a new item: A projector! So, to make my final trade happen, I need to find some people who will trade with me for the following items:…

To carpet, or not to carpet

I’ve been chipping away at this Wish List for items to make my final trade happen. I’m in negotiations still with people for a lecturn…. and for blinds… And I made it right to the final negotiation with the carpets for the training room! Yes! Brandon of KBAC Flooring had made me an offer for this Vanguard carpet collection, that was partly cash, partly barter, and Allon agreed in principle. When it came to finalising the deal, and the Raizcorp…

End point to trade towards is?

Yesterday I had a client session at Raizcorp (thanks to this update!), and then to avoid loadshedding at my home office, I worked at one of the hotdesks there and bumped into Allon Raiz. He showed me the new office wing he’s been buildling and that led us to look for what I could trade with him as our final trade. And it turns out to be office furniture! ha! So now I start strategising to work backwards from the…

The latest ‘matchstick conundrum

In June 2006 I started with a single matchstick and now, eleven trades later, I have a Mobile Lifestyle Makeover to trade on…  I set out with this moonlighting project to get office space, to share with start-ups and run my coaching practice from. Now with COVID, the need for offices has changed.  So much has actually changed since I started in 2006. Just as COVID hit us, over a year ago, I had just got some blocks out the…
