It's been a while since my last post, but with good reason. Over the past month and a half, I have been engaged in negotiations, along with four business partners, to buy a business that affords me the opportunity to work on things that i am most passionate about. More importantly, it's my chance at being my own boss (one of many), and fullfilling on an entrepenureal spirit that until recently, I never knew I had.
The business we've invested in is
Capitol 1524, a well-known sneaker boutique here in Seattle. As of late, it's prominence in the saturated sneaker market has diminished; especially compared to
GOODS, whose product selection, marketing strategy, in-house line, and overall aesthetic I find to be exceptional.
I don't think I've ever been more scared, excited, anxious, happy, tense, and exhausted. The shear amount of information I've had to absorb from lawyers, advisors, accountants, friends and family has fried my brain. The funny thing is, I know it's only going to get harder from here on out.
I'm still going to be working for Hornall Anderson fulltime to help support Tara and I; but I'm hoping that the store, and all the opportunities it will eventually bring, will be enough to sustain the way I want to live in the future.
We've got big plans for the store which I hope to share with you all over the coming months, but right now we're still crawling.
