An inspiring and exciting plan, Kozz. A change in your career and life, relocating to a new country to pursue the innkeeper’s dream will undoubtedly be a stimulating adventure. As a quick, taxi-cab sort of advice: Evaluate your plan conscientiously, is it just an adventure you are seeking? If so, enjoy it as such, for a limited amount of time and avoiding substantial investments of money or untenable commitments, compromising the career options you have at home. Also, should you pursue a business partnership with your friend, please remember that enterprises based on individuals along with their respective investment of time, capital and efforts present certain dangers. Please make sure you agree on exactly what your respective roles will be, each one’s investment and individual management latitude. Secure the business, both in terms of contractual commitments (leases of premises, supplies) and services in a way that in the event one should abandon the project the other may survive the incident. In business, think different, and market a concept that people will remember. It can be simple and even inexpensive, but keep it sharp and distinct from all other similar inns out there. Cuisine is a delicate matter. Managing a restaurant, its staff and supplies requires a degree of expertise without which you may quickly and easily stretch your budget excessively. You must secure the assistance of an experienced restaurateur, whom you trust, to help you set it up and perhaps run it with you for a while, until you are ready. However, you had me dream for a moment of a more careless life style, without nightmares of clients whose financial success, freedom or vengeance rest stressfully on your shoulders. Just the sound of waves gently crashing on the white sand across the street to wake you up in the middle of the night. Thanks for your advise GJ. In fact those things you mention, are the securities I must get disconnected from. Of course there must be a decent business plan, but my girlfriend is more aware of that than I. I am always amazed where she sees cheap opportunities where I see problems...perhaps as a scientist I am used to think in problems instead of opporunities. Hahahaha, I really must laugh at the cooking thing... I had the same...but the idea was to do it differently...not to strict, but with passion as Pimientito did....its all about the experience and less about the end product. But also art, spiritual etc.... Actually she's now in Spain doin some internal redecoration stuff for people, but she's also looking around for locations. The main thing what had bothered me the last years is that there's so much passion inside which cannot come out in my daily job, and therefore in a reason I am failing....I like to work 600%, it gives me satisfaction, but at my job the say 80% is enough, and I don't agree with that....in fact that what has causes my depression, always tempering myselves. I might get back to you on advise of you don't mind, I really appreciate it. How do you undergo your lifestyle? You seem very succesfull, but to me it sounds like there is some passion what needs to come out. Hopefully we can hear that in the composition challenge. Thanks.
