    it's a good idea, but I'm terrible at making coffee...that's why I just buy it from DD or use the work Keurig.

    I am tired of making other people rich that don’t appreciate their employees.

    Someone once told me a long time ago that you'll never work as hard as you will for yourself and always have multiple sources of income.

    I’m working on getting my wholesale dealer license. Will start flipping cars, one or two a month to start with should be a nice side gig.

    I was hoping to do that with motorcycles in the beginning and then maybe get into cars. Only problem is everybody thinks their junk is worth gold and then some idiot pays it. Haven’t been able to find any good deals or be fast enough to flip on the side.

    I did that for many years long ago. In SC to have a wholesale license you have to have a lot, that part sucked.

    We leased her one back in 2016, it was a great car. The GS is still one of my favorite Lexus models. I get lease deals thru work. But the extra mileage she had to get still made for a pretty high payment.

    After starting and owning a very profitable business at the age of 22 until i was about 26(when my daughter was born) i can say that it isnt for everybody. It was a challenge and it was fun. But i found out that there was no dollar amount worth more than my time. 70+ hour weeks get old quick.

    Yep, my business plan will account for that. I put family first before money. My greatest fear funny as it sounds is doing a good job and getting more business than I can handle. I will have to be selective and focus on doing good work instead of trying to make the next dollar.

    Having more business than you can handle is a problem alot of bussiness owners wish they had. After my first year or two word started to spread and i was booking over a year in advance. I had to learn that not all bussiness is good bussiness. But i was still working my reg job and working 25+ hours on the weekend. With the birth of my child i new if i kept that up my family would suffer. So i dissolved my LLC and liquidated my assets. I learned alot about myself and the world around me. Ill do it again one day if life ever cooperates.
