Okay... Seeing that I am completely miserable at work and looking to start something of my own. I was thinking, how crazy would it be to start up my own ski shop in beautiful Waltham? With a small business loan, my MBA, and a passion for skiing... how tough could it be?
Pros: No other ski shop within miles (closest would be Newton, Woburn, Watertown (near brighton), and Framingham).
Cater to the wealthy suburbs of Weston, Lexington, Lincoln and Parts of Newton.
Working in an industry that I love
Passionate people who actually enjoy the winter
Cons: No ski areas locally (Maybe Blue Hills..?)
Recession
Lack of any real industry experience.
What do you guys think?
