ok, so today was just a terrible day. I have worked for a friend for the past 8 years basically and this was the first summer I was going to collect unemployment... summer time is virtually no business for us... I asked him if it would affect any of his money as in paying more into taxes etc. if I collected, and if it was going to make him pay a lot I wasn't going to do it at all just being a good friend... well he blew up and basically spilled out the last 2 years of frustrations and said he was going to lie to the unemployment agency saying I quit so he wouldn't have to pay........ okay I have wanted to be an entrepreneur for years and this has fueled me to the max for motivation to succeed and not depend on another person for my source of income. I have had numerous people let me down recently for job opportunities saying they can "get me in" where they work and blah blah blah... My friend and I are huge into cars, very knowledgable of them, and are ready to start an aftermarket parts company. I know basics of business and feel confident I could start it by doing small parts and growing more and more parts to our line as our sales and brand became known. I am not going to lie, I am scared. I have a fiance' who I have plans to marry within the next 2 years and we are ready to start a life together, but if I invest so much time into something that fails I will have no money saved to move on with life... and that little doubt always creeps in and says to go the safe route and work a 9-5 but I feel in my heart that a parts company would allow my knowledge and creativity to shine and be very profitable. If there is anybody out there who has been in a similar situation pleeeease give me some advice. If this situation doesn't refer to you at all, pleeeease give me some advice lol I know most of you guys are successful and have started somewhere...I am just looking for some guidence from people with experience in starting a company from scratch... thanks to all who post in advance and all of those who read the entire post lol :thankyousign:
