Hmm. I’m having some serious doubts about the bookshop. I get a funny feeling that something’s not right about the deal. That, and these other issues:
- bank
- lack of business skills
- lack of bookshop industry knowledge

Probably wise. It’s a crap time to spend any more money than you need to.
But there is probably a core plan in there to continue to plug at. Make yourself self-sufficient, but perhaps in the luxury of a full-time job while you set things up.
There are worse plans than returning to software for a few years to pay the bills and let you ride out the recession, assuming there are jobs to be had in your area. Rent-a-coder?
Sorry to hear this, sad…
Simon D.,
You’re right to be cautious. Can you work as an assistant at the shop currently to get the valuable experience and the inside track of that actual business and whether it’s a go-er?
Stay cool,
