Brand New Plan / Full Time Scrap Business

If i'm locked up in my garage then my truck sits idle while someone else gets the goods. At some point you have to step back and see what you want to be doing. Obviously your plan includes hiring labor or getting a partner (or investor). The sooner you figure out what role you want to concentrate on the better. Personally I like driving around in my truck and knocking on doors/handing out cards to businesses. But to make the million $ mark you have to have help (and pay for it somehow!).

I have gone the partner route several times. Never, ever, ever, neverever, again. I do a lot with real estate investments and have access to some funding. I just need to put something together and ensure their ROI will be right. This is going to take some doing on my part but I have several very solid ideas.

I wish you all the success Geiser! One thing Iv'e learned from most of the financially sucessful people I know, is this...... "They are all well diversified." Keep the Dream........... You will do it.

I am still working with real estate investors. I have two properties and will continue to work to acquire new rentals and flips. Something everyone should look into that has a little hustle in the is Real Estate Wholesaling. If anyone is interested just reply and I will start a new thread. The thing about REI is that the is passive income. Which comes snow, rain, or if I just don't get out of bed!
