Anyone here own their own business?

Looking to see if any fellow FTE members here own their own business.

I own a hauling business. We do construction clean up, junk removal etc..

(Note: this is not an advertisement.)

Wondering if we have any fellow entrepreneurs here.

Thought about starting one a few times - decided to wait until after the move. CA seems... unfriendly... to small business.

That they are.. However, if you play by their rules, its easy once you have gone through the paces once. It gets easier and easier every year it seems.

Always wondered about that, but never thought to ask.

That thread rocks. And I thought I was getting old....

Jokes aside, I can't really argue with the brilliance of a man who's managed to arrange things so that at any given time... he can go racing without having to call in.

You're a hell of a role model sir.
