I see no failure here but great success. The lessons learned was priceless. There are those out there... that only dream and do nothing and go back to the office and do what they probably hate, and then there are the do'er and shaker like you who can move mountains . What mountain will you move next " ) I think this is a great story. you had passion and a dream, the first two elements in creating anything.

Startup cost including franchise fee, buildout etc was over $150K.I lost nearly 30K a year for the next two and a half years trying to build a useless business until somebody bought it for $60K so I could get off the rollercoaster ride. I am now back in the UK a much wiser person, but almost broke. I agree with the coments above - you did well to learn as much as you did for just $10,000. You wont make the same mistakes in your next venture. Good luck in whatever it is! I left a secure job and sold my home in the UK in 2003, came to the USA on a business visa and opened a sub shop.
