ANOTHER LONG over due introduction

[PatrickP]

My name is Michael Patrick last initial is P. Hence the forum name PatrickP.

From the age of 7 when I begged my mother to order a salesmans kit for custom printed Christmas cards(it was advertised in a comic book) I probably was destined to be a business owner.

I was buying my own clothes by the time I was in second grade. NOT all my clothes but a pair of pants and a shirt or something like that.

I actually loaned my parents money a few times starting at around age 12 or so.


I have probably had 30 or so jobs. Not because I would get fired but I usually had at least 2 full time jobs if not 2 full time and a part time. For example in the summer when I was in high school my schedule was as follows.

God bless my mother as I did not have a car so she had to pick me up AND drop me off from all of these jobs. After that summer though I had enough money to buy a cherry 1974 Monte Carlo so she didn't have to drive me anymore.

6 AM - 8:30 AM Lifeguard at the YMCA
9 AM - 12 noon teach swimming lesson(this was 20 miles from the YMCA)
1 PM to 3:30 PM Lifeguard at the town park.
4 PM - 11 PM Assembly line at the book manufacturing plant in town.

Next year I went away to college full time while working 40 hours a week at Wendy's.

LOTS of money for drinking not so much time for studying lol


Not sure why but I find work enjoyable.

It was strange to me that people thought 40 hours was working full time. To me if I worked less than 60 + hours a week I was being lazy.



Never been about the money as I never really wanted anything which required money. Just the actual process of working is enjoyable to me. I would rather work than go on vacation. I would rather work than watch TV, do sports, watch a concert just about anything.

I have also owned a number of businesses including a lawn service, gyms, a health club and a health and beauty manufacturing company among other smaller ventures.

I have helped a few people along the way start their own businesses.

My current business has been doing well with sales so far for this year at just over $800,000. Profit before taxes is approx 40%

I previously lived in a single wide trailer with no heat and no air in FL.

I started from next to nothing and am happy to help others who want to succeed in business.

I have just started a new venture which I have been thinking about for the past 2 years.

Basically it is a drop shipping company in which we give anyone a FREE website so they can see if they like the products, results etc. There will also be additional options which will have a monthly charge. But always a free option.

So that is about it.

If you have any business questions I am happy to help if I can in this thread here:

https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/ge...n/38628-business-questions-answered-here.html

I surely do not know everything or even 1% of everything but I can let you know what my experience has been and it may help you in getting to where you would like to be.
