I am not an entreprenuer, then what am I doing?

So in the porter exchange there is an aproximately 10'x10' space with a sign on it that it's available for lease. It's in the middle of the hall, no walls. I look at that space, I look at all the japanese and korean food shops in the porter exchange and think "There should be a DDR machine there." I think, "I need a source of income, maybe I should put a DDR machine there."

I wrote down the number, but didn't call. So many issues to think about. I don't even know how to apply for a small business permit. What about liablity, what about vandalism, what about the stigma that some people have that video games attract unsavory people. Do I really want to risk n thousand dollars on a plan that could go so horribly awry? If they kicked me out I don't even have enough storage to keep the machine in until I could sell it.

I don't have the dive right in, go get it, fight against all odds personality that one really needs to be an entreprenuer. I'm more of the hide-in-the-corner-and-see-if-people-throw-money-at-me type.

So why did I just phone the number and leave voice mail with my name and number asking for details on the space?

You've certainly seen/used a lot more DDR machines than me, so maybe you know what to expect, but you could talk to the CAC or whoever runs the Student Center DDR machine and find out how much it makes, etc. I'm not sure if that would be useful since it's obviously a different location, but the CAC people are friendly.
