I had this epiphany exactly a week and a half ago after calling off due to physical stress and illness stemming directly from work.
I realized I cannot take an 8-12hr day behind a desk, especially now that I have made being healthy and getting exercise priorities in my life.
I want to buy 40-50 acres of land, start a boarding kennel with my best friend who is Pre-vet, do the business side of the non profit service dog training she wants to start. The boarding kennel to pay the bills for the non profit, essentially.
Then use the rest of the land as an education playground for sustainable/LEED standard buildings, and build a Bed and Breakfast along the NY Wine Trail. Our niche would be a subset of pet friendly cabins that would also have onsite pet sitting/boarding via the kennel for folks to leave their furry friend to go hiking, visit wine trails, etc during the day and then come back and have the pets with them.
I want the Bed and Breakfast to be Leed Platinum standards, and try to rope in the talents of friends and family. My bro is a chef, his wife a patisserie, and I love doing things with my hands and meeting people.
I'm currently in a position at a non profit now, so my next goal (I've realized) is to get the Masters in Non profit management I've been eying for 6 months so I have the skills to get this off the ground.
