Do you have an idea for a great new place to eat? When you start your own restaurant business, you can have a fun, creative job where you are in charge.

"As a restaurant owner you will get to know a lot of people. It is a very social business, with lots of invitations to special events and private parties. You will be on a first-name basis with people who have power and prestige: the conductor of the symphony, the coach of the football team, the mayor, TV celebrities, and so on. When they are in your restaurant, you are the one they want to talk to. It makes them feel important, so they will seek you out to become your friend. I speak from experience!"
      - Tom Hennessy
