I have been reading Chad Hardwick's The Nerdist Way. In one of the chapters of the books, he discusses how you should plan your work life similar to a mall. Your day job would be the department store. It may be boring and generic, and you may not love it, but it brings in the bulk of the cash. You've also got your little specialty stores. This is your work that doesn't bring in a lot of money, but it's also more on your creative side. To know what stores you need to open, you need to know what jobs you have and what jobs you want.


My current day job: I don't hate the work (at least most of the time), but I don't love it either. It pays for all my bills plus some. It use to be a great fit for me, but the way my brain operates has changed during the last twelve years. I've gradually increased the usage of the right side of my brain.

Hotel management: I love to travel. One of the things that take up a majority of my prep time is choosing the right hotel to stay at. I am impressed by hotels that are the perfect package for me. I would like to do this for others. I would like to go above and beyond to make sure a hotel's guests have a memorable stay.

Music scout/promotor: I hate to brag, but I tend to notice popular music before it is popular. Don't ask me how, but I just tend to identify it. It would be such a thrill to assist these bands in obtaining the exposure they deserve. I could help Baywood get that record contract and nationwide tour that is so long overdue for them.

Dating concierge: Although my personal dating life is next to nonexistent at this time, I do have couples ask me to assist them in planning a date for themselves occasionally.


 
 
    I've always dreamed of opening up a pizzeria. As a wannabe urbanite, the location of my pizza joint would in a downtown location. In addition to pizza and a full-bar, the restaurant would also offer a full coffee bar and bakery. This would allow traffic to flow into my establishment from the early hours in the morning to the latest hours at night. The pizza would be cooked in brick oven, exposed for all to see. The interior would be dimly lit. The walls would be the original brick. In addition to a dining area, there would be living room furniture scattered across the board. If you would like to eat your pizza on a couch, so be it!
    I wouldn't require any of the employees to wear a uniform. They could wear whatever they please. All I ask of them is that they wear an apron, to differentiate them from the customers. They'd still be able to choose their own apron. A personable staff is a must.
    Similar to some other establishments outside of Southeast Kansas, there would be many activities through out the week to bring people in; Game Night, Trivia Night, Karaoke Night, book reading clubs, and live music!
