Nono, I know I can be successful in my own business, don't/didn't claim I'm better than everyone I've worked for. Just a matter of getting the startup opportunity lol.

What makes you think you can be successful at running/owning a business?

I cant speak for all, but if I ever start a business it will be with my money or a bank loan. I would never feel right using family money to bank roll my business. Whether I failed or struck it rich, I would never feel right about it. Either Id owe it all to pops or Id have wasted his life savings.

Offer equity stakes. That's what I do/take. Someone wants to start a business, bank won't loan them the money, they don't have it, but it's a really good concept...I have no issues signing a check for a bit of equity. They want consultation, depending on the return on my money, depends on my fee. Think Marcus Lemonis and 'The Profit'...just at the etsy/sub-$250k/yr business level. That's how me and my brother started the lawn care bidness 10 years ago...he wanted a craftsman mower to make some money in high school...so I bought it, then a used zero turn, I bought it...then a few new zero turns, I bought them...then a new tractor...etc etc etc. My equity stake has varied over the years, depending on my involvement and the business' financial dependency on me, but it's been extremely lucrative for both sides...he makes more working 3-4 days/wk doing landscaping than he was as an ER Nurse, so he went PRN and works at the hospital 1-2 days/month now just to stay current. I say all that to say, there's no shame in asking for a handout, it can end up being a win/win for everybody.

Thats different than what I was talking about. You have equity in the business. You fund it, you make money as well. I was referring to people who will take family money, go try their hand at a dream with no promise or anything. Just take the handout and not give anything in return.

Not saying John would or wouldnt do that, as Ive never met him. But Ive seen it happen like that. Then pops or whoever is left on their death bed with no money for care or a funeral.

I'm starting a second shift, gonna need 70-100 people, production line and warehouse work. Insurance and $10/hr. No promises, if you don't show what I want to see, I'm quick to fire. Don't really care how many employers you've had or why you've left...the $10/hr market is usually high turnover anyway.

I still need them...haven't gotten an inquiry message yet.
 
I received the following email today. You might want to pass it along to your father, as he may find it to be a safer investment.

Dearest One, It's my pleasure to contact you for a business venture which i'm intend to establish in your country. Though I have not meet with you before but I believe one has to risk confiding in someone to succeed sometimes in life. There is fund ($15.5 million) (Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) and some quantities of Gold dust which my late Father deposited here in Abidjan before he was killed. Now I have decided to invest these money in your country or anywhere safe enough outside Cote D'Ivoire for security and political reasons. I want you to help me to transfer this fund to your country for investment purposes on the followings below: 1). Telecommunication 2). Automobile manufacturing 3). Five Star Hotel. If you can be of an assistance to me I will like you to tell me what you will take from me as percentage from the total fund. Contact me for more details. Thank You. Aleksandra

This is what I was suggesting way back in my earlier post.
If you think you can do better business wise than the people you have worked for, time to poop or get off the can....
Good luck with that, and hopefully my assumption I can do better pans out also...

I didnt say better than the people you work for, but do better business wise....
I.E. if your output while working for someone else is more than you are being paid.
Only one of many things that would be required to successfully work for yourself.

I guess all I was trying to say, is if you are unhappy working for someone else, are a hard worker, understand how a business is run, and are willing to put in lots of time to

Actually, never mind...............

I try not to rag on too many folks for their situation...I don't know you, don't have to know you, but from the threads I've read, this^^^ comment is a perfect depiction of how everything turns out for you. Shit doesn't go your way on the timeline you want it to, and you instantly become the victim. Stop being the victim in threads, stop being the victim at work, stop being the victim period...and I bet shit would turn around and you'd get a little more respect. And I understand one flippant NC4x4 comment won't cause some kind of great epiphany in your life...but it's about time to start taking some of the advice you're given.

Oh...and I still need 70-100 $10/hr production workers that want to 'show me their stuff' and as stated, I promote at an accelerated rate.
 
Can I summarize?

OP: Please tell me how to XYZ
NC4x4: You should ABC
OP: I dont want to ABC. I want to DEQ but I want to end up with XYZ.
NC4x4: You need to ABC to get XYZ, if you DEQ you will end up with a major FUPOS
OP: no no no. I know that I can DEQ and get XYZ. Please tell I am right.
NC4x4: No you still dont get it. You need to ABC. Weve done this before. DEQ is your problem. It wont work.
OP:NO NO PLEASE tell me to DEQ
NC4x4: Not this shit again. Here is a funny MEME
OP: Ok stop this thread. I quit. I didnt hear what I wanted. Me and my ball are going home, even though I dont have a ball and its actually yours. Im going home. I quit.
NC4x4: 6 moe pages of cock waggling and funny memes. A random appearance from JeepinMatt, BTL and Dr Dre makes everyone laugh. Ron, Ben and SHawn get in a tangential argument that is unrelated. The world spins around.

well I kind of see what you're saying and I'm not by any means saying that I'm the victim it's just when I share an opinion it's always wrong no matter what and people jump down my throat but when everyone else vices their opinions whether it be wrong or right nobody else cares a jump down anyone else's throat so really we're all entitled to our views and opinions and different ways of life it just seems that my way of life my opinions and Views are always criticize and put down and told that I'm a douchebag and stupid and ghetto...basically judged by 2rigs I built and my views on life/work/morale that yes differs than others but does not make me wrong. And then when I mention wanting a real shop, again I'm judged on whether or not I could even run a business just because of what people see of How I build my rig and a few comments and Views that I have on life that again are different but they're not wrong because they're just my way of living there actually morally pretty good ways but most people of the world can't understand and that's ok.
I didn't get into why I think and know I could be successful at a real business because I've shared those before when I had my backyard Jeep shop in Boone and I've already been told and I know where people stand in that but it doesn't matter because what little backyard shop I had in Boone was actually very successful for being out in the middle of nowhere with no sign no nothing so I know for a fact I could be and am a very good businessman it's just people don't know that about me because well the only thing anyone on here knows about me is that I build ghetto control arms to get away with my own crap and I view life and work and finances differently than everyone. My "backyard Jeep" shop made average 2300 monthly (give or take a little but average) plus selling Jeep's so no matter how you look at it for being a shop out in the middle of nowhere hardly no advertisement except for what Craigslist ad I had so that means everyone I knew customers were all word-of-mouth that's doing pretty good for nobody who's out in the middle of nowhere that for being a guy who everyone thinks is such a douchebag I don't know you tell me that's pretty impressive.
And yes the most biggest reason why people don't think I'd be successful at a business is because I'm to compassion and care more about helping people then I do about making money but you know what that is a biblical way of running a business to me and I care more about helping people and getting them on the road even if that means taking money out of my own pocket because at the end of the day I live to serve God not serve man and to please God and not please man so I will run my business according to those values and that right there is true success (not according to the world of course, not according to business laws) but according to God!!
 
And i was able to even sell jeeps and make that a consistent thing extra income is cuz I had a customer who invested money into that he got 35% of profits and he never saw or touch them and of course I quit doing that when I left just as the right thing to do so been down that road. I'm actually very honest businessman I've just most people on here don't really know me. I'm by no means perfect, have showing my ass a few times here and there but on my day-to-day walk I do my best to be kind, compassionate, helping giving and patient with much gratitude for this blessed life I have!

FWIW, I've stuck to non-humorous comments because this should be a serious thread. Guy is trying to find direction in life.
 
But since you mentioned it
