The Coffee Shop

So today the temporary wizard (Dr. C) starts to probe job possibilities and somehow it comes out that I would sort of like to own a coffee shop.  I even had a place in mind...and tomorrow I am going to look at it with a realtor.  I don't have a clue how to run a coffee shop other than I can brew a pot of coffee.  I did once acquire a degree in business, but that was many moons ago.  Dr. C had me brainstorming and giving a sales pitch within a few minutes of todays session.  It would be great to have my own business, where I would make the decisions and could set my own hours.  I would like to also maybe later add some wine tastings, small book nook, and some local art, etc.  The place that I am looking at was built in 1884.  It is 3000sq feet.  I love historical places.  I am going to do a little research and networking over the next few weeks to consider the possibility.  Of course there are the "finances" to contemplate.  It's amazing how much can transpire in one day.  I really don't know what I want to be when I grow up.  I have so many interests.  Dr. C says we are a breed of Renaissance Women.  I don't know if I could pull it off, but the thought of being a business owner is very tempting.  I think I would need a business partner or at least some advisors to get it all going.   For fun tonight I posed a question on Facebook...what would I name the shop?  Here are a few...Red Boots Caffeine, OMG Caffeine, Cowgirl Coffee Shop, Strings and Beans, and Stuff to make you slap your mama! At any rate, I am feeling pretty excited....something that has been lacking in recent days.  The worrying about "what to do next?" has been wearing me.  Can Coffee really be my future source of income?  God Bless the beans!  Barn Girl out!
