I'd love to hire people. Thats the vision in my head. I want crews working for me and a few trucks on the road but I'm losing interest fast. It doesn't serve enough purpose for me. Plus I don't have the cash or supplies to hire people right now.

I've mentioned on another thread that through my work I encounter a lot of entrepreneurs and as a result they made me want to do my own thing which I'm pursuing. Mine is product based but I can tell you of one client - I couldn't believe there was this much money in car washes. He is worth 35m. The bulk of that was from setting up car washing businesses. He invested in property too but that was not how he made his money. The example he gave was the relatively recent freak snow storm in Germany (this was earlier in the year when I saw him). He said the result for his business was exponential; apparently people just can't be bothered to wash their cars anymore (in my head I thought I would have either washed it myself or paid a child pocket money to do it for me!) but he is the entrepreneur and I am not (yet!). Keep going, it'll be worth it in the end I'm sure. Good luck!
