OCD meets ADD

Obsession of the day: writing a business plan. That sounds easy, right? Guess again. First I need some business plan software for the new iBook G4, but there are no such critters for the mac osx platform, but there is one set of templates available from Jian. The only hitch is that it requires MS Word. Ok, there is another $400, in addition to the $100 for Jian’s mess. I am always interested until the time comes to write the check. The whole business plan is around buying a 1.5 million dollar farm, complete with a bunch of bog and a processing facility. As if i don't have enough stuff to do. It has been a long time dream of mine to have my very own personal farm. Now that i have spent so much time working within the confines of large farms, i really fantasize about small acres, nimble business where i am the one deciding my fate. I want to decide about the risks i am going to take. Some ventures rely on risk for success. Little risk, little profit potential, little excitement. I have come to realize i thrive on the juice that comes with mania and excitment.
