I really want to stop messing around online so much. I feel like all of my time is spent staring at a computer, and I’m getting pretty fed up with screens at this point. You see, when I finish my work for my online employer, then I have to go to work for myself. I spend endless hours manipulating my website, posting new items for sale, and managing my social media accounts. It’s a whole other job, on top of actually creating these wares. That’s why I really want to take the leap and get a brick and mortar retail space for my art. Not only is it important to me where the shop is located, but I’m also pretty obsessed with the HVAC plan it has installed. The last thing I would want is to purchase a building with an old failing furnace or a faulty air conditioning system. I can’t have my art enduring wild temperature fluctuations. I also will need to work from the store to create my art, so it will be crucially important to have a strong air conditioning system to keep my internal temperature nice and low. I don’t want my customers to be uncomfortable either, though, so perhaps I’ll want to get zone controlled heating and cooling. Then again, if I’m going to invest that much money, I might as well have radiant heated flooring installed. And certainly at that point I will just get the newest smart thermostat to finish off my air control set up. As you can see, I need a lot of start up money before I can buy my first shop front.
