A successful entrepreneur shares her thoughts on business success and failure.

OMG!


Quick update. I just got a phone call. The woman introduced herself as “Sue”, a bankruptcy attorney in Oakland. I had no idea who she was until she said, “I heard you were interested in the office furniture?”

The company whose office we are taking over is in bankruptcy, and Sue is in charge of handing out their possessions. She said that I needed to go in there and take an inventory of all items, then send her a list of everything I wanted (she recommended that we take everything), and she’d give notice to their creditors. The creditors then have 20 days to accept or reject the offer (she said she’s never heard of anyone rejecting a reasonable offer.)

There are laptops, desktop computers, big servers, switches, a conference table, desks, phones, and chairs sitting in that office. I’m going to take Brandon in there this week, scope it out, and submit a ridiculously lowball offer for the entire office (off the top of my head, I’m thinking $5000 or less.) It looks like I may just get the entire shebang.

Wow.
