Mike since you are getting older hopefully you have another 30yrs in you. My question is do you have any regrets in life? Do you wish there are things you would have done? I am turning 40 and focusing on some small business ideas. I really want to travel and be able to look back and say I did everything I wanted and lived on my terms.
I tell you I'm a sad case. Seriously I would change so many things. Wealthy family, great inheritance, blew it all in 1-1/2 years, Drugs drugs drugs, have been on top with competitive water skiing should never stopped. Not following with Music , Corporate Director Q.C. inspector in house. Opened a gym, bankrupted in 3 years,drugs. I was cycling sometimes at the time for "what I put my family and children, thru "Got my muscle offshore boat instead of a lil cabin cruiser for the family. So we could travel in the boat. NO they had to hold on past 70 mph in the Donzi. Violence and Jail.
I was a successful State Certified Gen Contractor..... I let a company use the license and he ripped off a customer for 38,000 she sued. The state revoked my Licence I think in 98'. I was sick with my two psych disorders ? but I knew better. I FUCKIN KNEW BETTER.. SO as successful as I was Up n Down I'm on SSD since 2002 and don't have a pot to piss in... OH wife divorced me 2014 , but lives a few doors down. The fallout with all my family has devastated relation ships.
For the most part i have a hard time and spend much of the time in REGRET and try to look up and forward. I hate getting older. All the old age shit we like I am experiencing Just started say at 63-64 years old and it seems every month or so I seem to get another, call it, old age trait.
SO I think I answered your Q's.
Yes too many
Small business is hard. I had the gym and a Gen Contracting CO. Some homes, additions fire restoration. Etc... It's tough. Usually a small bus guy works just crazy hours.My phone and my personal time n aid to my customers was 24/7....
Here is my advice about a business is No matter what you do you need to think of SERVICE. I built the Construction Co by SERVICE. It's service that keeps them coming. Remember SERVICE
OMM
There is more ^^
