First of all, congratulations. This post makes me incredibly happy brother.

I'm looking forward to talking with you more about it as time goes on.

    I don't know what else to say. I'm looking at 70 hour work weeks for at least a month.

I predict more :)

    A guy who owns a coffee shop told me that it should take me about three years to make enough money to do all the things I want to do to the shop and enjoy any money that I might be making,

Not sure how well it maps, but this is precisely in line with my wife's retail shop.

    There are many ways in which I think my shop is lame right now.

Just today I was installing some security systems in the shop and M said "If I had a fucking week to close down and hole up in here, I would transform this fucking place into the coolest fucking shop on the planet that would blow everybody's mind." Worth noting that her customers already think it is, but she is never satisfied with the status quo and intimately aware of every tiny place it falls short in her eyes.

Life goals: Sit at cgod's counter and have him make me an espresso. Luckily this is an easy one.
