Brainstorming Must Be The First Step When Starting A Spa Business

October 31st, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

Before any owner of a new spa business should dive into the nitty gritty of all the necessities to get the spa operation off the ground, there must be an intensive phase of brainstorming about the vision and the requirements for its implementation. It is strongly recommended that, only after this process is finished, one should start looking for the place, where such vision can be materialized.

In my case, the brainstorming phase lasted not hours or days but weeks and months because my ambition was to create something new, non-existing in South Africa at that time: a 5 star holistic destination spa.  And only when the first foggy ideas became more and more concrete, the time had come to start looking for a suitable location and object, which reflected this vision as much as possible.  We investigated more than 20 objects in various provinces before we succeeded.

Because haste in making the location decision can lead to the realization soon afterwards that the original vision can not be implemented or must be abolished, as the place does not match at all, what the vision was all about in the first place. Example:  if you acquire a plot at the border of a forest for your “Pure Nature Spa” and 2 years later, a shopping center pops up in your neighbourhood, your vision of a nature spa has become quickly obsolete.

So my advice is: take your time, as the decisions you make in those early days of your new venture will determine the character of  your spa business and will lay the foundation for its future success.
