Alright let me explain this to people one more time. No business that you can ever invest your savings, time, blood, sweat and tears into is ever easy! If this is what you think you want to do, DO IT!
I started a construction company( underground utilities, earthwork, water, sewer, communications, Etc.)because thats what I knew how to do. Have you priced an excavator, pick ups, water trucks, loaders, or a backhoe lately. If I sold out all my equipment right now I could have enough money to put a beautiful pub together.
Know what people say when I tell them thats what I want to do as a retirement? "I dont know Thats a lot of work"! You think?
So is starting a excavation company! So is starting a taxi cab company! So is starting a flippen maid service! So its easy to get a little pissed when people say " that is really hard to do", "Oh, thats alot of work", "You cant do that"!
NO Part of owning and operating any business is easy! If you get lucky, and I mean really lucky, you will find the right person in your endeavors that will bend over backwards to protect and serv your best interest. Then it gets a little easier.
But until the right one comes along, your best friend that you had since highschool will hock your tools(after he said he had your back and we can build it together). Your own brother will embezzle the companies savings. Your wife will stop caring about the business all together and just want to spend all the money. Every family member and friend all of a sudden can tell when the company has money and thinks they are entitled to it. Then they disown you when you tell them that you are not a flippen bank, not a auto loan officer, not a pawn shop, not a payday loan service, ETC.....
So if that is what you want to do, DO IT! Setting in your rocking chair on the front porch when you are 85 saying I wish I would of dont sound like fun to me, setting there saying" boy I kinda screwed that FIASCO up" and laughin about is saying that a dreamer you were not! A doer you were! What if Martin Luther King wouldnt of had a dream?
Good Luck! Remember that none of this business stuff is easy, all business' pay taxes, all buy product, all buy equipment, all hire some idiots, all find a good idiot once and a while, and all stand a chance to fail or succeed, its up to you to decide which one it will do.
