I'm taking a plunge and going into business for myself (and family). I'm buying a pharmacy in Philadelphia! I used to work for the chains, and found a niche in my area, but was terminated, supposedly for proper reasons, but I never know for sure, as I don't do corporate politics well . Luckily, one of my obsessions had been investing in the stock market and we had saved enough to be able to do this. I'm a lil nervous (of course!). I know I'm weak in social areas, but I think my aspieness allows me to have strengths to counter my weaknesses, ie I can show a remarkable kindness to people that others tend to write off. Consequently, many pharmacy patrons fit that description well! Also, my NT wife will be with me part of the day, and she, being the social animal, will hopefully build those relationships in the neighborhood we will need. Has anyone else out there undertaken any such large endeavors? I'm always open to advice!
