thinking of starting up my own coffee shop

[lincpimp]

I own my own business. If I have anything that diverts my attention the business suffers. So I would suggest not doing this if you plan to go thru college and get any sort of degree that requires studying. 1st year will not be hard, but your last 2 will require alot of commitment and time to pass classes.

Business fail due to poor management, and overextending. Plus the bottom can fall out anytime so having a really big float is necessary. Your idea is sound, but there is alot to do before you can sling a single cup of coffee.
