I've learned from my own experience that making money -- as opposed to earning money -- takes heaps of hard work, thought, and (dare I say it)courage. As you've explained, there are other concerns as well. You mentioned that your friends will become the competition. I think this kind of thing happens a lot with business, which is why so many people pull out. Also, they can't quite get their heads around being THE BOSS when for so long they've been just an employee. Capitalism is a lot harder than people think! Good luck with this.

With the "network" of friends we have, I suggest you never, ever get behind the bar. I guess that won't be a problem since you still don't know what's in a rum and coke... Good luck Derrich.

I have a friend who was inexperienced in business who opened a bar by himself recently, underestimating the work needed, and now he is literally putting every minute of his life in there. He just bought a sofa bed in his office so he would sleep there and be able to work right after he wakes without wasting anytime. He has no more time for himself. www.succeedwiththis.com Definitely a good idea to enter into this venture with a partner, especially when family comes first.

I've given some serious thought to owning a bar in the past as I would love to own a neighborhood bar. When I did my research and due diligence, I came to the conclusion that it wasn't the right thing for me at that time. I'm looking forward to future posts in the Pour series!
