Not to hijack but I'd like to own a non franchise donut shop or dry cleaner eventually.
I have a cambodian friend whose family is in the donut biz. Works 4-5am to noonish, takes a nap, and goes fishing pretty much whenever he wants. Does pretty well financially and in general is a pretty cheery guy. He told me that he'd take me under his wing whenever I was ready. I have no question that it will be hard thankless work but I'm no stranger to startup hours. I just don't want to be staring at a computer screen into my 40s and 50s.
long live the american dream
