Some things to think about before you start your own business. Not everything is on the good side, as today I had the day from hell.

All 3 workers called out. 2 of them play football for highschool and had a breakfast to attent. The other one's mother did not want him to work today due to weather.
What does this mean as an employer, it means I needed to get my butt out of bed 2hrs earlier as i was going to wash 45 vans by myself today.
I started at 8am and finished at 1:25. I am in so much pain right now. It all hurts from the shoulders down.

Now i had to come home and do the books for the month of Jan.
I so did not want to do this, but it needs to be done.

Next i had to go and pick up supplies that body shops ordered from me, to deliver tomorrow.

It just seems to never end.

Owning a business is great and I encourage everyone to try to start one, but be ready for what comes along with the business. It is not always fun & game but lots of over time.
