Going to solar power, while being an investment, could easily be a huge leap in long term viability and profits. If you can make the electric "free" you can do so much more. With enough, potentially even air condition, which would take you from "normal" to "extremely unique offering."
I've already got a connection that could probably handle that for me.

USA but they already deal with countries in Central America.

Is there a Crazy AJ's in NY yet?

Time to get this going again. I want to know when we get to shop there!

Hope it opens before September and MongoCon

Perfect time to announce the grand opening!
-
If I had the capital I would. I've actually been been thinking about this a lot lately...

So I've decided to open Crazy A.J.'s. No, it won't be before MangoCon. It won't be this year, or probably even this decade. But every job carries with it one common frustration: knowing I can fix an issue and having my hands tied by the departmentalization of various teams (voice, networking, server, etc) and them all playing their favorite game of "pass-the-buck". I'm hands-on, and I want to be the one at the helm.
That being said, I'm neither in a position financially nor personally to make this successful. I have much more to learn before I'll be ready, and I'm both aware and okay with that. But I also know I'll get there someday, and when I do, I'm excited about the prospects.

It's really the only job that will ever truly make you happy.

I agree. I think I need the level of control over things that can only come from owning the company that you work for. That being said, I will still use NTG as my meta-MSP
-
So I'm going to do some research today on writing up a business plan, per the request of @scottalanmiller and start at least getting an idea of what it will take to get this thing going.

I did a mock business plan in 10th grade for an entrepreneurship class I took. My grandfathers on both sides of my family, as well as both my parents, have all been successful entrepreneurs, with my father being the most successful of them all. It's one torch I wouldn't mind carrying on.

Didn't your dad take over an existing business, rather than starting his own?

Business plan, and location scouting. For something like this you need to find a location that makes sense on its own, but also a place where no one else has figured out the same need.

He's done both. He took over the company my grandfather started and that's the one that he's done best with, but he ran his own painting/drywall finishing company for a decade long before that, and more recently he started a car consignment company with one of his best friends, that is also doing very well.
