So a phone call wakes me up last night/this morning at 3:30, it's my brother, I don't answer because I'm half asleep. Just now listened to the voice mail, and he got a job offer from one of the assistant managers at Taco Bell (where he works). Apparently he wants Gavin, my brother, to run a bar and grill that he's opening up in Aurora. This

If you go into business yourself just remember your most valuable skill is keeping the books. There are plenty of food places that make shitty ass food but can keep the books and there are plenty of bankrupt people out there that made great food but sucked at finances.

Yeah, that would be my biggest role, because my brother would not be comfortable with that at all.

How many times does opportunity knock?

[nailz1000]

Every time you listen.

Go for it?

I was thinking you should open a food business, last week. Psychic forecasting?

When would it start? It sounds like a good idea--but approach with caution.

[flint_the_dwarf]

Not sure yet, waiting for a call-back from Gavin.

I say go for it - but if you are going into business, incorporate.

Two words: limited liability. If worst case comes to pass, just wash your hands and move on. No reason to be going into bankruptcy on this.

Sound advice.

Well, I am in training to do financial planning after all.

But seriously, corporation or limited liability partnership (assuming the US has those) means you can only lose the money you actually put in.

It's an LLC, and it takes about 30 minutes to set one up.
