    Finding local businesses for sale

    QUESTION 
    In order to do this effectively, I would need to obtain my P.E. license. I have applicable experience, but the test is not trivial. I have set a goal to achieve this, so perhaps it could be an option in the future.

    This sounds pretty ideal. Thanks for sharing, The-J. My wife and I both have great jobs. That is part of my dilemma, the "Golden Handcuffs", so to speak. Not that I am in the C suite, but I feel like my salary is respectable. Fortunately, I have a fairly frugal nature, so I have been able...

    Finding local businesses for sale

    QUESTION

    Thanks for the encouragement. That is the plan. If I can fit it in, I want to start something on the side now. Getting my remodel done is one distraction I need to finish. That is part of the reason for asking for Friday's off, but ultimately to have more "week day" time to work on business...
