right on rodney.. that's why i mentioned the demographics, you need to get an idea as to just how much disposable income there is...and disposable income varies from year to year. while the car care service has some disposable income aspects to it... it's like rodney said... shine their own shoes, etc. because the service they pay extra for... well they can scrimp and save by not using your service. except for skilled services like cars

discount cigars, maybe hire a cigar roller for the night and have him roll cigars for the "charity" same thing with the spa massage. while you cannot do them yourself, you should be resourceful enough to find people who can and are willing do to it as a donation. What would you do if someone said, "here's the keys open on monday" you'd basically shit your pants...because you don't have any of the services or goods even close to ready to put ot market. booze takes time.. you will need a liquor license, which takes some good $$$ to secure.

look at some of the target businesses and ask youself what certificates, registrations, permits, skills, will i need to open that business tomorrow.
