A surprising business pivot
Hugh Grant & the Tesco Drug Cartel
I had a strange dream on Monday. So much so that I wanted to share it, and ask you a pertinent question off the back of it. Also, read on to find out which country is the world’s biggest consumer per capita of cannabis* - you’ll be really, really shocked…
On Monday night I had a very vivid and rather unusual dream. Hugh Grant was in it, and he asked me an interesting question: “What would be the biggest business pivot in the history of business, ever?”
Of course, I have no idea why Hugh Grant was asking me that particular question in my dreams (any Freudian therapists care to comment?), but my answer was so utterly incredible that it’s worth sharing here.
I asked Hugh, in my dream, to project his thoughts forward to the year 2030. After half a decade of campaigning, the UK government has changed the law on drugs, making marij*ana legal in Britain.
It appears that years of lobbying and applied pressure have done their thing, and according to the breaking news, it looks like the retail giant Tesco is behind the whole thing.
In the biggest turnaround in business history, Tesco is going to put the high, back into the high street. Its large nationwide infrastructure of Tesco Metro stores will provide a variety of cannabis, from their essential range to Tesco finest.
Their large retail stores, already with good lighting and the necessary services, will become indoor cann*bis ‘farms’, and their supply chains will switch from everything apart from snacks and ice cream. From being one of the largest retail giants in the world, Tesco will now become a behemoth of global narcotics.
Now, of course, this was just a bonkers dream - I don’t even smoke weed, and I’ve never met Hugh Grant. I also doubt the UK government would ever change the law to turn Birmingham’s canals into the new Amsterdam, and I’m pretty sure the Mexicans might have a thing or two to say about it all**.
But it does raise an interesting question. What's the most unlikely pivot for you or your business and could it be done with some (excessive) imagination and a prompt from Hugh Grant?
The Success Formula Club has pivoted from exclusively helping US-based therapists to UK high-level businesses that want high-level clients, using Go High Level. Not that Hugh Grant asked us to, mind.
Anyway, I really must stop eating blue cheese before bedtime.
In the meantime, have a great week, learn heaps, love loads, and then pass it on.
*The biggest consumer of cann*bis per capita is Israel. SOURCE: INSIDER MONKEY: - Nope, I didn’t know that either!
**The Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico is currently the world’s largest drug cartel, and they’d want a piece of the market, me thinks…
