Here in Playa del Carmen, Mexico for the last few weeks. Life is good and I have been having a lot fun playing tennis, basketball, lifting, meeting a few new people, reading, learning, and playing some poker.
The last few days I have been consumed with the idea of opening up a food truck back in Harrisonburg. One minute I think that it is the completely obvious thing to do and the next I think I am completely insane (currently I think I am completely insane)
Go-For-It:
- Got enough money to start it up (barely)
- I think it would be crazy fun to start it up and a lot of fun to run it (at least in the beginning)
- Less time in front of a computer screen and more time interacting with people
- Spend exponentially more time with my family
- Could be profitable
- If it goes bust-o, not the end of the world
- No doubt would learn a shit ton
- I will get to figure out if it is/was a good idea or not
You Crazy:
- I sort of like what I am doing now (poker + travel + lots of free time to do what I want)
- Everybody and their brother wants to start a restaurant, very few succeed
- Pretty risky financially (lots of upside and a shitty downside, with not much middle ground)
- I would have no fucking idea what I was doing (although I think I am pretty good at learning on the fly)
(now I think it is pretty obvious I should just go for it)...what do you think?
Poker this month was ok. I didn't put in too much volume, I played like a monkey for a week in the middle of the month, I am still learning a bunch, and I won some good imaginary/theoretical money (but no actual money).
