..i am at present in the process of buying a shop (wont say what selling..but it is a shop that has very good potensial) its been let go by the previous owners and needs an investment to get it back up (landlord of premises has stipulated it)..although it does do rather well already!....Its far from sorted and could not go my way due to bigger chains possibly getting in ..but that is life.

The dilema is thus......i live rather comfortably i'd say...not got a big house but then i dont have kids so dont need it,but i do have some nice toys...and am happy BUT this could make an even better life BUT it could also loose me what i have IF it went pear shaped.....now do i take the gamble (although i think its a good gamble!) Once in a lifetime opportunity really....and if i dont do it and see another being a success will i kick myself?

Your thoughts....i am not looking to make a decision based on the people of PF ...just your thoughts.
