Zues, I think your plan sounds great. I need to find my equivalent of a pool table and follow in your foot steps. I can totally picture you in your pool room, music playing, hours passing by as you just do your thing.
Your comment about the "business partnership" made me think of arranged marriages. I don't know the statistics, but I've heard they are more successful than "romantic marriages" so maybe you have a point there. But I do think you need some of both- the shared vision and the emotional connection.
