Sounds like stuff is turning around for you good luck with youur business

 

I don't know if I would say turning around, but I might say slowly chugging along. As long as I can get enough in to keep the bills paid I will be happy.


My Dad has lived with me for the last 5 years, so there is really no need for him to work. He and mom make enough off their retirement to buy food, and car insurance.

 

I know its slow for getn business goin had a family spray on bedliner business for 14 years just my dad and I we started when I was ten, we had to close down just was no money to keep goin we did everything out of the garage and business just died out nobody could afford to deo it. Took us 5 years to show a profit then economy went to ****, advertiseing and word of mouth keept it goin, I'm a electrician and I still worked while doin the business putn my paycheck in as my dad did to, just keep your head up and remember there is someone else worse than you are

 

If push comes to shove, I will go back working for a friend of mine during the day, and just have someone at the shop to help customers during the day. Then I will go in at night and do the repairs.

I really don't want to do that though.

 

Sometimes you have to I rember workin a 8 hour day drivn 40 miles to pick up a truck drive it 40 miles work 3 hours or more on the truck take it back then go home long days but it payed the bills

 

I work from 9:30 AM to 7 PM most days. During the summer when things are really busy, I usually work 9:30 AM to 3 AM.

Monday is probably going to be one of those days that I put in like 20 hours straight.

 

Just remember its time well spent but more you put into it the more it could turn out later on too

 

When we get busy like that again, I will keep the money. You have to plan for dry spells like we just had, and Dad didn't. You also have to stay on top of your bills, so you don't end up spending all the money on late charges and fines.

 

That is very true make all your payments and get ahead on materails, we would do that then we would have a big job that would take 300 gallons of materail which is 2grand of materail we always had to pull a loan at the bank but we would pay it off soon as job was done it would be a 12g job though, just playin it smart with the business money is the best way and don't mix your personall account with business

 

That was the problem with the business. Dad refused to seperate the accounts.


He has no choice in the matter now.
