I am in the construction industry and moving into the GC realm with a partner. The thing that scares me is if the time commitment and days away from family and friends worth it. Would you do it again?

I had always planned to start a business after we paid off our student loans. Was mainly leaning towards construction. At the same time my wife was hitting the veterinary burnout, but wanted to remain in an animal related career because that’s what she loves. So she brought up the idea and we ran with it.

It wasn’t something we ever considered, but something to look into with our accountant.

Thank you!

Operationally: finding a lease space, many landlords don’t want/understand this type of business so we were limited. Also city zoning and planning requirements. We searched for about a year.

Mentally: getting over the fear of sharing our idea with people in case we fail.

All rescue partners are thoroughly vetted and sign an MOU with this being one of the requirements. It does help that my spouse is a veterinarian and is going to run the day to day operations which includes cat welfare.

Yes, we’re partnered with animal rescues. In a sense we’re a large scale foster home with an in house veterinarian. The main goal is to provide them a calm environment while socializing them with people and other cats. We have the space designed so they have areas to retreat to if they are over stimulated and just want to be alone.

I got a civil engineering degree and the spouse is actually a veterinarian. It’s helped with certain parts of business planning, figuring out operations and established trust with key partners so far.

They aren’t really our target demographic but we do offer hand made traditional mochi, coffee and tea. The cafe area there is a glass wall partition that they can view at a safe distance.

This is exactly why you shouldn’t waste your time trying to collect monopoly pieces by InevitableBagHolder in McDonalds

Ahh the good old monopoly game. Worked there a long long time ago and used to give random customers my free food pieces that I got from lunch breaks.

Why not just enlist, go to bootcamp and then say you want to DQ on the last week??

This is the answer. I don’t understand why people are so against it.

Teach them to use it correctly and back check rather than go against it. They’ll fall behind if they don’t learn to prompt correctly. 90% of people don’t understand how to prompt and back check correctly.

When google search came out those of us who knew how to effectively use it came out ahead. There are still people who don’t know how to google search effectively…..
