If you could open your own business...

[dluvs2trvl]

What would it be?

I'd start a wedding/event planning business and eventually expand it into store with unique wedding/event props and supplies to rent and/or purchase.

 

[merin]

I'd also like to have a non-profit organization that is a central hub for all the organizations in my community that need volunteers....I would match up people who want to volunteer with organizations that meet their interests and need volunteers

A coffee shop with multiple rooms: one quiet room with books and magazines for customers to peruse while they enjoy their coffee; one TV/movie room; one room for socializing in. And the best dang coffee ever! We would have our own roaster and would roast fresh coffee every week to brew for our customers. And the name of it would be:

LATTE DA!

Betcha never saw that one coming.

I'd partner up with Dluvs (if she let's me), but I'd also start up a design consultancy/firm dealio.

Absolutely!

And as far as the design - are you talking about fashion design or interior design?

ALL design.

Excellent! I love interior design and that's another business I'd love to do too!

Seriously... you are just down the coast, I should come visit and we can brainstorm. I'll bring some H and B pencils, a couple sketchbooks and we can be in business in no time!

Sounds good to me! I have a 3 bedroom home so you can stay as long as you like!

This may sound weird to most folks, but I always joke with my best friend that if I ever win the lottery, I am going to open my own business. It would be multiple parts, but all focused on somethings I really enjoy and have strong beliefs about.

I would open a firearms/outdoor store. I would want to focus on high quality, high end camping and outdoor survival products as well as hunting, fishing, etc.... We would have a set up to run guided hunts and fishing trips all across the country. I would also want a section for more "tactical" (hate that word) related stuff for self defense and such.

I would want an archery range and a gun range built in as well. That way, I have a set up for people to try out their gear and hone their skills.

I would have class rooms set up in conjunction with the range so I could teach hunter safety courses, concealed weapons courses, and even more advanced firearms courses.

I would also love to have a space set up for exercise equipment and floor for martial arts/self defense classes. I would love to run a children's after school self defense program out of it. We could use the classrooms for doing tutoring/homework and then get the kids some exercise with a self defense/martial arts program for them.

I am very passionate about teaching people how to protect themselves and each other. I also love doing things outdoors, so the camping/hunting/fishing stuff is also something I really enjoy.

[dluvs2trvl]

Coach you should totally make a plan and seek out financiing! You have a great idea and a great outline of what you want to create and I'm sure you'd have a customer base...

Awesome! Amazingly I've never been to Oregon before and would love to go.

Can a Canadian actually team up with another american to start up a company? I wonder how that kind of stuff works.

You have the smarts to do it - I think you should seriously try for it. Who says a teacher can't have a business on the side?

I have no idea but FlatpickingJD is an attorney - think we could convince him to help us

I'd like to open a community center, and a nice restaraunt with live bands and a dance floor.
