thinking of starting up my own coffee shop

Your business should be going to school and getting a degree. If you are going to a good school and actually being challenged you should have just enough time to study, fit in a little fun-time, and maybe get a part-time job. If you have tons of free time while going to college (enough to start a small business) it means you aren't working hard enough or aren't being challenged enough. You said yourself in your thread selling the soldering machine "I've decided to sell the jovy 7500 machine along with the other things needed to get it going because I simply will not have the time to be doing this stuff while im away for college." Do what JThiessen said, get a part-time job in an area you'd want to learn more about, but keep your main focus on school.
