Plans to stretch the profits

March 17, 2007

Instead of sitting up bright and early to spit out the numbers last night after the drawing, I decided to sit back and think what I might do with the money I would win. The thought of early retirement is always exciting and the thought of starting up franchises and my own business is also in the plans. What kind of business’s would I open? Well I’m not what you call a business expert but I have enough common sense skills to not have the entire thing tank. My first and foremost favorite fun franchise would be to open a Chipotle restaurant in a high populated college area. They just put one up in Ann Arbor and I’ve been there twice within the first week of opening already. It’s always packed and I find myself either having to stand to eat with other people or take it all to my car and eat it there. Outside wasn’t an option since there’s no tables or no room for tables it looks like but the weather was a bit to cold the second time around. I would of loved to sit out on a bench the first time when the sun was perfect 72 degrees and not a cold breeze in sight.

Back to the franchise’s! Ok, Chipotle might be the only franchise I’d do but maybe start my own restaurant gimmick that I think’s great but won’t go into detail because it’s that awesome! But another business venture I’d love to go into is some kind of ad agency. At heart I’m a graphic designer and would love to run an ad agency from the ground up. Seems to far fetched since I can’t even get work as a graphic designer so that dreams going to pretty much live down in the toilet. Can always dream though right? Maybe start a few publication ideas I been having swimming in my mind. Then the ultimate idea, the video game bar. Something like a Buffalo Wild Wings but you can sit down and play some console games. The idea has many flaws and what not but loving the whole daily tournament aspects of the place where every day there’s tournaments going on with cash prizes! Entry fees of cash will win cash, if you go there to buy some grub and snackage and play the tournament you get a gift card to come back again. It’s an idea in the running.

On to the lottery!! As always I played the Mega Millions but still haven’t quite won it yet. All I can think of is just buying a house a car and….after that my mind pretty much goes blank other then a big screen TV and lots of video games and video game parties. Just a whole mess of fun and hanging out the rest of my life. But then again that’s not really going to happen, but I can always dream. Like I said before, I didn’t win the lottery, close with 2 balls though! I’m slowly climbing up with numbers. Here are those numbers!
