yes it was very scary, but I knew how to run the work side, which I'm sure you know all about.
Scheduling, ordering parts.. Etc.
The book side was pretty easy.
Motivation is hard to keep up on a daily basis but I just look at it like the harder I work the more I make.
Sometimes I work 50 sometimes it's 80-90. But that goes with the territory.
If you tell someone no they will probably go somewhere else and may call there first next time no matter how good you are. Remember that.
Also remember that you will have to take on jobs you really don't want to do. You just have to. Anything to keep the dollars flowing daily.

Yeah, that's the beauty of the situation i suppose. I'm taking over a business that i've essentially been running for the last 5 years. The owner has other stuff going on and would rather not deal with it.
I'll basically be doing the same job, but instead of getting a paycheck every two weeks, my income will be open ended. However, if there is no income coming in....im in trouble.
This is it right here. My opportunity to change my life forever. If i fail....Hello 9-5 at some parts counter....
