One thing sort of led to another and i got into e-waste a few years ago. I can't say that my approach to business has changed because i've been self employed since 2001 with something else. If anything ... it's been applying the principles already learned to a new venture that has a very thin margin of profit.
It's fun, challenging, and the landscape is constantly changing. It really keeps you on your toes ! The technology is evolving so rapidly that i'm spending at least a couple of hours a day in study just to keep up with it.
The long term plan was to have the e-waste venture established & running smoothly sometime over the next ten years and then gradually transition into that as i got closer to retirement age. It's not a bad gig for an older fulla and the potential is there to provide a supplemental income source during the golden years.
** Fair warning ! ** Most of the self employed old farts that i know maintain that they're working harder now than they ever did before retiring from their regular job. Aside from the aches & pains of old age most seem pretty happy. Their days are full and staying active gives them a sense of purpose.
