Have you tried talking to fellow pool hall owners in the area about how they like owning their business? That information may help you decide if the pool hall is a good fit for you. It sounds like a lot of long and late working nights. Are you a night owl?

The first thing you have to do is to inquire about loans for your business. The best way to do this is to go to the small business part of Bank of America. They will assist you with obtaining a bank loan or a small business loan from the government. During the loan process, you will be making a business plan, etc.

You could also try your state gov. web site for adittional resources such as other organizeations that are free.

As I approach my 40’s, I am seriously embracing working smarter. What I mean is that after years of work, I end up with 2 very different types of businesses.

My 1st one, created in 2000, follows a classic structure: overhead, employees, product manufacturing. I love it, but it takes most of my time, and revenues, even when doing well.

My second one started more recently. As someone very concerned to age well and be healthy, I started using daily a superjuice called MonaVie (after reading that Sumner Redstone, CEO of Viacom, called it his anti-aging secret. So did well known Dr. Perricone). I loved the product so much, that I decided to become a distributor. It cost me $39 to enroll, which gave me access to all their virtual office, collateral, customer service, product wholesale prices, website, all included. No overhead, no manufacturing, no shipping anything, no big investment. Just a great product that fits perfectly our baby boomer time. I now make more money out of distributing a product I love, with no employees, no overhead, no hassle, than with my classic business.

Both businesses are exciting and rewarding, but I do believe in having time left to enjoy my family and life. Now, you need to define what you are trying to achieve. Wealth. Quality life. Or both…
