I tried doing it the "im going to work myself to death, to get rich" way, but all i got out of it was stress, and not much money.
Up north i was in a business where people wanted my skill and talent to do a job for them, not some goons who didnt care. I hired who i could to help, but i had to keep an eye on QC. Then after the work was done i had to make appointments, look at jobs, do paper work, goto get supplies ect...
Probably pretty similar to how quality pro detailers operate. It is great to be your own boss, ill never go back, but doing it this way, your income is limited and there isnt much chance of branching out or growing.
So, when i see quicky detail operations show up with some "goons" wiping off cars with bath towels, i understand why they exist. Its not entirely because of what people are willing to pay, its one way to operate a business.
I started my fist business when i was 25, and by the time i hit 28 i started to notice who had the biger bucks, and what they did every day. The ones with, what i would call serious money, didnt do any of the construction work, their job was running the business.
Everyone i knew who was out in the mud every day banging their own nails, laying their own tile ect.. had "normal" money.
What does everyone else think of my observation?
