Hi guys,
I worked in IT all my life, and quite fed up with it after 17 years. I have a problem with authority, and also fed up with the IT work itself. I have a videography side hustle for over 10 years now. But the clients are sometimes quite the nightmare, also hard to find new clients and the market is quite oversaturated, while I do enjoy this more then my main job. I don't think it's a career I will pursue any longer.
So the last couple of years I have read a bunch of books about investing, finance, fastlane, marketing, sales, ... You know the usual action faking. And I have tried to grow a youtube channel, but after a year of consistent posting it really never took off, so I had to shelve it. Now 6 months ago or something I bought an outdoor pizza oven, and have developed a passion for making pizza dough and baking pizza's. So I am thinking about starting a napoleatan pizzaria. I know, I know it's not a fastlane path.
Positives:
- My own boss
- I like making pizza's (allthough it could change doing it everyday)
- I could do the marketing myself and also be creative.
Negatives:
- Not quite sure how much the average pizzaria in Belgium actually makes.
- The hours, they would be mostly from 15:00 - 24:00. Which would have an impact on my family life (wife + 2 small kids).
So yeah try to talk me out of it. As I don't see any other path in front of me right now. (Or I need a mentor)
Thanks
