In Reply to: Ever want to open up your own audio store? posted by jedrider on September 4, 2014 at 12:03:51:
...back in 1998 I took a year off between jobs and already had decided I didn't want to buy the Absolute Sound and keep it running.
So I decided using my experience to open an audio store might be fun, found a location, talked to some manufacturers and put together a business plan.
It was all sounding great until I put together a 3 year pro forma financial statement.
In the very best scenario, I would be investing a lot of money in a very risky proposition where the small profit would be my salary.
Not long after that I got a call from a recruiter and went back to work.
In the 16 years since then, as I have watched the successful B & M stores go under, I have never regretted avoiding taking the fun out of my hobby.
