I really hate talking about it because it comes off as arrogant. But let me make this point.

you have to START somewhere. Many businesses dont last 6 months, some shorter. i work pretty damn hard, ive paid my dues and busted my ass for the last 6 years working for other people, learning the ropes, making mistakes, making sh!t pay, sacrificing, etc.

Im blessed to be in the position i am and to be doing what im doing. Im blessed to be able to eat day and to be able to survive.

Im hungry though, i want to make alot of money. I want to expand, i want to open a shop, i want to get into emissions stations, car washes, day trading, and other stuff.

So in the NEAR future, and im not BSing, i want to employ more than myself.

My business model has been to keep COSTS low in my first 2 years, i do primarily INTERNET sales, i dont require a storefront. 1% of my total sales were local, 99% is online out of state or country.

Why should i go get a $1000 month building and have that liability when i dont need it right now? id rather save that $1000 a month $($12000/year) and keep it as operating capital, or invest it in equipment.

Next summer i want to open my own shop that is going to cost me $50,000 minimum. Between lifts and a dyno. I couldh ave opened a shop by now but it would have been half assed and not done right. Id rather wait and do it when the time is right.

So yeah i will be employing people in the future, and the fact is Obama is going to make it VERY hard for me to expand and very hard for me to employ MORE PEOPLE.

Travis, and you know i respect you, youve had your own thing now for what 2 years? and you still only employ yourself. Do you have a business license? are you SERIOUS about growing and making more money like i am?

I dont think you are i get the sense that you are just doing this to do it. You arent going to be doing this when you are 40. You can make $30,000 or more a year doing what you are doing and work the hours you want.

My question to you is WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF in 5 YEARS?
