EntrepreneurWhat?
I want my own business.
I'm graduating this year and now I have a degree in Business Management from St. Mary's College. Impressive I know. Thank you. Anyway, stupid degree status pride aside, what do I want to do?
I've thought about marketing, I've thought about just being the boss and firing people after making them jump through hoops... that were on fire. Although this image does somewhat amuse me the entertainment value doesn't seem to be all that endurable.
What in the heck do I want to do? That's a very tough one to answer. I want to be a florist, a photographer, a writer, an interior decorator, a graphic artist, a website designer, a stay at home mom, a good wife, an executive assistant, an event coordinator. I want I want I want. I want the world and then some. I want to own my own business.
I always thought that I would buy a franchise after being married. Dual incomes and all that. Now I realize that once I'm married expenses will be going to the wedding, the new house/condo, the children. Life is just going to slip by me and I will never have the money. My mom wants me to buy a house. I don't want to be tied to a house. I want a Subway store.
Or a quizno's store, or a coffee shop. I want my own business, and it suddenly occured to me that the time to do it is now. I'm going to get that second job barbacking and I'm going to get out of debt pronto. I'm going to buy a small business in the meantime, maybe vending machines, maybe a chem dry. I'm going to be an assistant, a barback, and a small business owner for the next two years, and by golly I'm going to own a Subway, or something else. I don't know. A lot could change in two years. That thin guy could get fat again and blame it on Subway, resulting in multiple law suits of fat people blaming Subway. In that case I may be forced to buy a Curves location, or a Baskin Robbins. He he he. Wait... I might get fat then. Hmm. No... no ice cream stores.
Sometimes my mind races ahead five years and I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas in May.

3 Judgements:
My friend owns a Subway and a Cold Stone. She loves it and makes really good money at it. At first she had to work a lot, but now she mostly stays at home with her son. My husband and I looked into buying a Dream Dinners franchise, but we were a little late in our market and it was pretty much sold out. It has a pretty low start-up amount and is a really good idea.
My vote is for quizno's I love eating there and they are always busy, and expensive!!
Thanks Michelle. I needed that story. My parents and some friends spent all weekend poking holes in my plan, which raised my self-doubt level from 3% to 5% (I'm pretty confident in my decision) but now thanks to this story it's back down to 3% YAY!!! I'm adding dream dinners to my list of franchises to research. Thanks!
Olivia-you just want free quizno meals... can't blame you.
