Sounds like it should be small (and stay small)

Nope, there is never a good reason to "PLAN" on staying small! Any good
business plan WILL include growth. Either in sales, foot traffic, profit,
larger store, and others, or any combination of these.

and something different. It
will only be fun if you have some dough stored away that you don't mind
throwing at it. In other words you are prepared to sustain a loss.

If you prepare to take a loss, then you will fail (and have "fun" doing
so?). Even planning for success can fail, but at least you planned for
better than losing.

Suppose you don't take a war games attitude to it and approach it much
like
angling itself.

Angling consists of "hoping" that you will succeed today. In business, you
have to plan on succeeding next week, month, and year. War games are for the
military, business plans are for business.

In any case i do believe that it can be done and a gone angling
type of life can happen too.

Yes it can, but you have to plan the business to be able to work when you
are not available (employee's that are capable), or the "gone angling"
attitude will be colored by all the thoughts of "what I used to have"!
