It was a little over a decade ago that I had a brilliant million dollar idea. Sadly, the idea came to me a few years after I had closed my bookstore. It was a brilliant million dollar bookstore idea. I wonder how different things may have been if I had come up with this brilliant million dollar idea way back when I was running the bookstore.

Imagine yourself, if you will, walking down the sidewalk of some cool, chic, hot small-town downtown. It’s one of those artsy-fartsy towns. It is a place where you are vacationing.

Abruptly, you stop walking. You look up into the sky but nothing out of the ordinary is happening up there. You look at the street and see nothing but clogged traffic. Then you look to your left and you suddenly realize that you are standing in front of a bookstore. How did your body know to stop walking right in front of that bookstore? Is the body faster than the noggin?

Anyway, you trust your instincts and you go into the bookstore. You are greeted by the divine smell of books and a few other unidentifiable smells. You browse the store and you feel really great vibes from the bookstore. Of course you get those vibes every time you go in a bookstore so it might be you instead of the bookstore.
