If I'm driving out though on my own, I could swing by Austin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runaway Jim Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 @Desperado82 Why did you switch from labs to GSDs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labs kinda happened by mistake I ended up working for a German Shepherd handler from January - May earlier this year, got to know more people within the breed...and like two weeks after I moved back home, Lemmy became available. He's sired by the #1 GSD in 2016, a dog I've met several times and love what he produces. His temperament is awesome as well. So...couldn't pass him up.

It will be focused on real estate investing and I am happy to get into the details if this chat can gain some momentum but I figured I would start with some high level things first. Pros and cons of your decision to start your own business? Best piece or pieces of advice you can give to someone considering something like this? Looking back from the early stages what would you have done different / changed? What is your business (without giving away too much detail if you don't want too)? Any recommended reading or things of that nature that you would recommend? PAY ATTENTION TO ME. K Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D82 Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 @acowboys62 Seriously though, I can't offer much advice. Two friends of mine own a local K9 grooming salon/pet supply store. They just purchased a new, larger building which will include a pool for dogs to swim as well as for them to perform hydrotherapy on dogs. When I stopped in after moving back from Ohio, they asked if I would be interested in buying the business from them when they decide to retire within a couple of years. I'm likely going to be taking them up on the offer as I don't see myself pursuing the vet path anymore. I may still go back next semester and earn an AA in English...but don't plan on pursuing a career in that field. Point being, I'll be right there with you here soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runaway Jim Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 @acowboys62 I've thought about starting a business, but to me the cons have always outweighed the pros. Pros: you get all of the benefits if you're successful Cons: You carry all the risk. You are never done with work - constantly marketing and networking and representing your company You have to do stuff like accounting and not just spend all your time, in my case, engineering.
