My 2 brothers and I all work in the IT business, and we are looking for something that we can get into as a family. Something that would allow us to open multiple sites as time goes on. I was an iGames member a few years ago when I was researching opening a GC on my own. At the time I just couldn't do it. Now things are different and this is one of the ideas we may take a serious look at. Part of what we'd like to do is use the GC portion of the business to showcase some products to SMBs. To be able to showcase something like Office Communicator would really require a nice established network, which is what a GC would provide. So I just wondered if anyone kept hours during the day to do this type of thing. Basically bring in potential clients and sit them down on 10 of your machines and showcase products for their businesses. It seems like a natural fit to me. Why have all those systems sitting around and only use them for one purpose. It's the perfect way to showcase an AD environment and simulate how a SMB could use technology to their advantage.
Anyway just a yes or no would work. That way if we go down this road I'll have a post I can go back and look at maybe visit some places. Thanks.
FYI, other businesses we are looking at are alternative energy, and automotive repair. My preference is IT since we have like 50 combined years of experience.
Oh, and also we are 47, 41, and 35 years old. So we're not a group of kids looking to make money playing games.
