While I have been focusing on my real estate business lately, I have also been inspired to follow through on what is perhaps the best business idea I’ve ever had in my life. It is a fully scalable, and repeatable business that will get the support of many, many local business people (including many of the 1,900+ Eastside Entrepreneurs) – as well as consumers. 
This idea is long overdue and would be great for the current economic climate.
To get it started, I will need a retail location in downtown Bellevue. It does not have to be huge, but does need to have a store front and an area to hold classes and events of 25-50 people or more. Easy parking is a necessity (as it is for most retail businesses).
The ideal situation would be a space that is currently available – and may have been available for some time – a space like the old Village Bellevue would be almost perfect. This space would be owned by a motivated and flexible owner, who might consider partnering on this business – and possibly on future expansion.
Alternatively, I may consider taking on equity and/or working partners.
The space used for this biz could also be part of an existing business that isn’t fully utilizing all of it’s space – or another business which would love a lot of traffic coming and going daily.
If you have any ideas or suggestions, please contact me asap – I’d be happy to make a presentation to any possible principles.
