A buddy of mine
wanted to open a restaurant.
He loved eating out,
wanted to work in that environment.
He had never worked
in a restaurant.
I, having worked in restaurants,
told him to spend a week
helping out in one.
He hated it.
He hated dealing with customers.
He hated the coordination
that is necessary
to run a restaurant.
He hated the employee issues.
He has returned
to merely eating in restaurants
and is planning to build a business
in an area he has previously worked in
and loved.

“The idea of the easy test
is often ignored.
Before spending three years
in law school,
why not get a temp job
for a week at a law firm?”
Try out a business
before investing time and effort
into building one.
Confirm you like the industry,
the customers,
the systems.
