Nice turnaround!

If you currently own a business and had the chance to go back to when you first started what would you do differently? What advice would you give to your self? Would you not even do it knowing what you know now? I'm starting this thread to try and get an understanding of what being a...

Mark, any and all comments are welcome from anyone. I know a lot of this comes down to a personal choice but I'm still looking for input on the feasibility of making 1000/wk and why or why you wouldn't quit your job to do this full time. I may make a 2nd thread along the lines of current...

Rusty, Question was is it doable to hit a break even point of 800-1000 in sales weekly, hypothetically. Would you quit your job to try it? If so, when, at what point? If not, why? With my current job/schedule there won't be a black and white point of having enough business to quit and...

Sometimes I think an outside source is the best one for a SWOT. I think it's too easy to have rose tinted glasses when writing one.

Mark- fully understood. I think the point I was trying to make is that even though you have everything on paper at some point you have to just go for it because you can't plan for everything even if you try. Good suggestions on the books. Quitter has been previously recommended so it sounds...

Looks good! Well done on the logo too, very easy to remember the name.

Just tell her that if she's not happy with your work you will gladly restore her vehicle to its original condition! Kidding, of course. Are you familiar with Pareto's Principle? Most people refer to it as the 80/20 rule. 80% of your effort brings in 20% of your profits while 20% of your...

Good point! Trying to determine that line between jumping in with a basic plan and having a concrete structure is always tough.

Thanks for all the kind replies. I know that having a cushion is the best way to go about this so it is presenting me with a chicken and egg scenario. I have to decide what level I can start out with on the side to generate some income and word of mouth but I will need to build up my equipment...

Trying to wrap up writing my business plan for my mobile detail business and I am wondering if my Break Even Analysis is out of line? Here's where I am at. I have always wanted to own my own business. ALWAYS, as in since I was 5 years old selling homemade puzzles by the side of the road. In...

Greetings from Nashville! Just wanted to give a quick thank you to the wealth of information everyone puts forth here at AGO. I'm looking into starting up my detailing business again and it is amazing what searching and reading can do. I've logged almost 50 hours in the last week and a half...
