Please Please Please Answer: Is It A Good Idea To Venture On The Caribbean Resort Business?


I am a native Caribbean, currently a high school student in the UK. I’ve had a lot of success with businesses I’ve done in the past as a teenager. My dream has always been to open my own resort, particularly in the Caribbean. However, during this time of crisis I’m not sure this is a good idea, but who knows by the time it has been built the economy may have recovered. So I have the following questions:
(1) Is it a good idea to venture on the Caribbean Resort Business? Why or why not?
(2) Would a good niche be something health-related? [Not a spa resort, but more to do with medicine and treatment, like a hospital combined with a resort]
(3) How can I get it started in future?
Thank you so much!

What Are Some Good Movies Similar To Howl’s Moving Castle?


I’d like to watch an anime movie with some romance! 😀 haha i LOVED Howl and Sophie and would love a similar happy ending love story 🙂 I’ve seen every miyazaki film affiliated with studio ghibli, but most of his works are for a younger audience. I’ve also seen Whispers of the Heart (?) and the girl who leapt through time, which I enjoyed alright, not as much as HMC but that can’t be helped xD So, got any good suggestions? I don’t mind if they’re for a bit more of a mature audience, but please nothing TOO graphic xD I’m not asking for porn here. haha thanks in advance!

What Things Do I Need To Know About When Opening Up A Vintage Clothing Boutique?


Hi everyone,
This may be long winded but I need as much advice AS POSSIBLE.
I am about 2 months away from finishing uni for good. I studied fine arts (photography major) but have done a number of other things since finishing school, including fashion design and styling (my favourite). I LOVE vintage shopping and always have and have been told I have a good eye for those types of things. I feel like I could own a vintage store and where I live in Sydney there is a very popular area that doesn’t have a vintage clothing shop, therefore I feel there is a niche/gap for one that stocks womens and mens items. I’m 22 years old, and I think I could do it.
The main idea is this: open a vintage boutique, for men and womens clothing and accessories. It would be really nicely setup, have a range of cheaper but GOOD quality items as well as vintage designer stuff (like dior, chanel etc) and would be more like a boutique in that it doesn’t have rack upon rack of clothes that people have to thumb through (as this would be exactly the same as someone going to vinnies or salvation army). I’m wanting to eliminate the searching for good stuff and have all the good quality stuff there for the customer. Also I would have a few one off pieces of my own label.
So I’ve researched the heck out of this and this is what I’ve got so far:
– Business plan
– Budget (for the things that I can immediately think of)
– Cash flow projection
– Business name
– Tons of info
– Positive attitude (but trying to make myself aware of risks as well)
The things I’m wanting to know about, especially with a start up business, is:
– How can i get financing from a bank/lender in Australia where there is no collatoral needed to back up the loan? My parents wouldn’t be able to take out a second mortgage and I would definitely need a loan. I’m thinking between AU$30-50k.
– How much is an accountant and a solicitor and how much would I need to use them etc?
– How much to pay myself to begin with
– How much to pay an employee (as I would have to be out sourcing vintage clothes about 3 days a week)
– How do I pay tax, how often, and how much?
– Should I speak to someone who has done a similar job and knows what is involved, like a business planner or something like that?
– How much would a basic shop fit out cost, as I’d like a lot of the furnishings to be vintage, not all new metallic racks etc.
How much would I be looking at budgeting to get a nice website? How much extra to put an online store on there?
– CAN I DO IT ALONE?
I do not think I’d have trouble maintaining the stock for the store, but I don’t have any accounting experience so would not really know how to keep on top of those sorts of things, like filing everything, knowing which expense goes where, paying staff etc.
Also, any insurance, rent, accounting, legal, TAX, advice that anyone can give me would be AMAZING.
I am a very determined person and feel as though I could do this really well but as I have obviously never owned a business before I need to know exactly what I would be getting myself into.
If anyone has any FIRST HAND experience in opening a store and things that are unexpected costs, I’d like to hear from you, whether your business is successful or failed, any advice is welcome!
Please only serious answers.
Thanks in advance.

Any Good Music To Accompany A Cowboy Scene?


I’m looking for something that would sound like it could accompany a scene with modern cowboyish characters. Something with a ‘deep South/Texan’ kind of feel? Something like these:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wTxqHbJO…
The more niche, the better! Thankshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbLjM2Nlo…

How Do I Find A Good Coder? Help?


I feel like there’s this wall between starting my idea for a niche social network & finding a coder or web developer. (This is my third question about this subject). I don’t want to use those sites that have a basic social network all set up for you. They are crap, am I wrong? I need 1-3 good coders & a good web designer. I don’t want to find a company full of coders & designers because I cannot pay one up front. I will already have to pay for a domain name & eventually find investors. I’m not asking for a coder to work FOR me for free, I’m trying to find one to work WITH me who would eventually make a percentage of the eventual royalties. Most likely they would have a larger percentage than I would since they did a lot of the time-consuming work.
Is this possible to find a coder & web designer willing to do this?? If yes, should I try to find one through people I know? Where else could I look? Should I post on Craigslist? Should I have my idea perfectly written & planned on paper first (already in the process)? Should I skip all this & try to sell my idea to Google? lol
I’m totally clueless about the creation of a good social network, so be gentle.
