This just popped up into my head. I wanted to start a business for the longest time. When I get back to Georgia next year, I thought about several things I could do. Then it hit me. I know for a fact I will be coming back with a lot of money, why not invest it into something fun. Yeah I know since the economy here is in a bad shape and the job market is low and since I hate being owned by both the government AND corporate America, I thought I might as well make my first job enjoyable. That's right everyone, Kyll's going to be her own boss. With what? Baseball.. Softball.. Arcade.. Food.. Uniform..
I'm thinking about starting a batting cage/ arcade/ diner/ baseball and softball store. I thought it would be a pretty neat idea, considering I've only seen batting cages in places like Monkey Joes and what not. I wanted something that would be fun. Hosting lock ins would be fun too. Heh, it would be nice to give out home run stuff to since there would be a thing that you have to hit for home runs. For realz. I would deffinetely bring a lot to the job market considering I would have to hire people to help out. Of course I would love to turn it into a family business. I guess I'm looking at it too positively. |

Well firstly make up a questionaire, ask some people in the area you want to open the store and get opinions on whether it's a place they would want to go or not. Then mae up some cash flow forecasts and stuff for the businessy side of things and work out just how much you have to put in. If I lived nearby, I'd certainly go to your place, if only for the arcade/diner bit. Not too big a baseball fan.
Reminds me of a plan I'd love to do though. At some point I want to open up a place for people to simply hang out. Thinking ten quid entry for a day pass, and they get access to games consoles, PCs, lan games, TV, there'd be a little store for snacks... Such a place is very rare, and I'd need to know if it's worth doing, but otherwise, I'd love to do it at some point. |

If you can get it running, that is an awesome idea. The only real question I guess is how you're going to get the money to start this whole thing. The arcade will probably be both the most expensive and the most profitable thing for you, since everyone loves playing video games, but they can cost thousands of dollars to purchase.
Other than that, though, this sounds like a great plan. I'd go to it if I lived in Georgia. |

How long do you have left in the Army? A good idea to try out is a gaming center where people can play online. No matter where you go, there are always dozens of online gamers that like to compete. Throw something in like a two-dollar tournament every week or so to keep the place busy. |
