In Reply To: You are correct BlueSweater. I knew a guy who did his best work at the Millenium Hilton in New York.
Message: Thanks Whoopa for your insights and Bluesweater for putting it in perspective. So my understanding of the situation is that I should concentrate on finding a girlfriend? The conundrum is "pretty girls like boys with nice apartments". The KSF is identifying the appropriate incremental cost point (rent level) that yields acceptable incremental revenue (hotter women). That is the thesis of my Business Plan. Financing plan My financing plan is to fund initiative by my cash flows (salary) and supplement it with other income (diems). The WACC of this funding strategy is higher (cant take local projects) but it is an acceptable level of risk for the expected return (hot girlfriends). Capital budgeting To hedge my position, I??ll place a real option (defer signing the lease) to upgrade the infrastructure (apartment) until the additional revenue stream is less ambiguous (conditions of the diems are identified). Market penetration Once the deal is closed, I expect that my pipeline of angel customers will keep me busy for a while. Once I build a reputation of delivering a product of high value, I??ll reduce my personal attention to the angels and recruit more staff (pass it to the homies) and create myself a role where I focus on shooting elephants. I just created a business plan of how a BE??er could use their income to be a big pimp. Who said vault is full of whiners. Educators?? sounds more like it. Thanks for the info ppl, I do appreciate it.
