I've been a lurker on this forum for quite some time and have decided to finally post a little bit about myself. I am 30 years old and have been happily married for 3 and a half years. I hope to have kids soon as it has always been a goal of mine to be a husband and a father. I'm halfway there!
As you can imagine, I've also decided that I've had it with lousy managers and ineffective companies that hire me out in exchange for a part of my soul that dies a little each time. I've always wanted to run my own business in order to have the means available to take care of my family first and foremost. I believe that the stars have finally aligned and have granted me the opportunity of starting my own lan center. I look forward to this with great anticipation as I've always been business minded.
That being said, I feel like I already know a bit about a lot of you. I'm meeting with my investors and bank in the next week and a half and hope to have my center up and running within a few months. You guys are an invaluable resource that have helped me greatly these past few months in preparing my business plan, and what I can and cannot realistically achieve. That being said, I give a hearty thanks to all that contribute to these forums.
I will be honest in saying that I am planning a trip to some successful entertainment centers in the United States for the last bit of my research before plunging into my own. I would love it if I could meet with some of you who have shared their successes on the forums here in person and visit your location to share ideas and get a bit more feedback and answers. You have been a tremendous inspiration to my plans.
Well, I don't want to take up too much of your time and I'll leave this short. It's been a pleasure to learn so much from you and I look forward to working alongside you in the same type of business. Long live gaming communities!
