Entrepreneur

Okay, so my whole career goal in life is to open my own business.

I don’t like working for other people, and I don’t like to bust my ass working hard for a company when I watch the profits roll in and feel like shit when I get my measly little paycheque.

So I’m in school, and I’m learning about marketing and business, and I’m working really hard to try and get the hang of things, but I’m feeling a little freaked out these days.

The business I want to open is going to cost me anywhere from $500,000 to a million dollars.   That’s a fucking LOT of money.  And if the business fails, and I go bankrupt, my credit’s ruined for life, and I’m that much money in the hole.  Good fuckin’ lord.  Frightening.  Not that I’m all that worried that my business will fail, but the possiblity is always there, especially with a market that’s as fickle as lesbians and as Vancouverites (very very fickle).

On top of that, it’s a shitload of work, which I’m cool with, but which is going to be exhausting.

I can already see the nervous breakdown coming.  Give it a couple of years.
