A sign outside the three-storey house is the only thing which gives any indication that the ordinary house in Poole is the home of the Journeyman Union shop.Customers have to walk through the front door and turn left in the hallway to enter Jacobs shop with a changing room and Jacob uses a laptop computer, a credit card machine and a box for his stuff.The 36ft by 14ft front room was divided into two by a wall to make space for the Journeyman Union and a door was put up in the hallway to block off the rest of the five-bed house.Jacob was previously training to be a tailor in London but had to give it up as he couldnt afford the bus fare from his grandparentshome in Oxford. He moved back to his mums home in Poole last December and came up with the idea of running his own shop.Jacob said, “I was training as a tailor at Newham College in London and doing an apprenticeship(學(xué)徒)while staying with family”. “The bus fare was just too expensive on an apprentices salary, so I had to move back home. It took me ages to find a job and then I finally found a part-time job in a bar, but I wanted a full-time job. ”Jacob said that he was putting off the idea of going to university when he realized that setting up and running his own shop could be done at a small amount of the costs of fees. “People are coming out of university with certificates and qualifications yet not getting anything for it, and coming away with 50, 000 pounds worth of debt. ”The 20-year-old has a true passion for clothes and added that the shop is something he has always wanted to do and that he one day wants to make his own clothes. His mother Nicky, a 48-year-old company director and single mother of four, said, “I couldnt financially help Jacob go to university but I hope I am helping him by allowing him to have some of my front room. ”Jacobs brother Reuben, 12, and sister Martha, 14, still live with Nicky while third brother Noah recently moved out. Nicky does not see a problem with having the shop in her home and said she is proud of her sons achievement.“At the beginning people were a bit concerned thinking they were walking into our house, but we have a small hallway separating the two. ”“I wanted to give him the opportunity to realize his dreams; its down to him now to do the hard work to get it up and properly running, ”“I am really proud of him. ”Jacob has taken out public liability(責(zé)任)insurance and is awaiting council approval to change the house for business use. He has also received his first bill for business rates at 1, 200 pounds for his first three months of trading.“We opened at the beginning of April and sell mens clothing, footwear, and publications, with the idea that its the quality of the item that matters, it will last 30 or 40 years”, “so far Ive taken about 3, 000 pounds since April and I get a handful of customers a day and double that at weekends”. “Its a slow start but everyone has got to start somewhere. ”【文章大意】這是一篇創(chuàng)業(yè)故事閱讀。文章敘述了Jacob Porter-Jones經(jīng)歷了艱難困苦之后獲得成功的經(jīng)歷。1.
