When our favourite Spanish bar was sold to an English couple the new owners did the following.

Opened at 10 - 30 AM

Closed at 02 - 30 AM (SOMETIMES LATER)

They opened 7 days a week and only had Christmas day off.

They served hamburgers and toasted sandwiches by the hundreds every day.

While they were working they ploughed money into a villa that they were having built in the Jalon Valley.

Seven years later they sold the free-hold business for a tidy sum and retired to their fully paid for villa.

If you are serious you will have to work very hard but 7 years hard work for an unincumbered villa and then no more work ever again is a nice thought. We were offered the bar by it's then Canadian and French owners but didn't take the plunge.
