    The other stuff scares me. Taxes, employee labor law etc. (2-3 employee's.)
    Other business is more diverse, and I'd say seems to have wasted money on some more lavish things. Little less selection in the hobby area I'm in. The current store which is supposed to be making profit, wife is having him move elsewhere in state was what he said.


    As far as dedication, the hope was since it's my hobby I could pour myself into it. I'm the type that wouldn't mind putting in 8 hours, 7 days a week as long as I can take off here and there. I have good credit, but without much collateral, I don't see it happening for just that reason. I could come up with probably 12k and that includes turning my car into a hoopty. Long term, I doubt I'd be getting say rich off of it. But if I could enjoy it and make say 40-60k + gf's job. (Whoops me at $25/hour atm) I'd be pretty happy with that.

    To make some of the idea clearer and hoping none of the people at these places are on the gun forum. It's saltwater aquarium/coral/fish etc. Store I'm interested in sells just fresh/salt. I'd like to take it pure salt like Elite Reef in Westminster. The big money is on livestock/coral. Dry goods suffers from amazon etc. A few things in the trade have decent markup still though I believe. (Wholesale these new Chinese powerheads for say $40, sell for $100 and are way more powerful than the big name brand one that costs 350)

    Scary thing I was thinking, I could actually if I throw away most of my free time still work my current jobs hours and 2 weekdays off make it into the store several hours each day also.
