a little recap of whats going on with me, I have heating and cooling franchise that I consider to be a slowlane venture. I am putting alot of time and effort into this venture, and its been a struggle to profit from. Its a job that barely pays, I want to move into the fast lane. I am in too deep with this business and feel I have to continue in order to dig myself out.
I want to start something on the side so that I can someday get rid of my heating business. I have been doing it 3 years and beside doing 400K in yearly sales, I am the last to get paid. Royality fees are not killing me, but they are not helping either
I've have learned alot since buying a franchise, but I wouldn't do it again.
I am constantly trying to educate myself through books and online research to better myself so that I can find something I can eventually turn my focus too
I try to share with my wife the vision I have for our future, passive income, free to live anywhere, debt free, and free from the 9-5.
She doesn't have the entrepreneur mindset. She has no desire to achieve anything higher than her current job, I on the other hand want a life that none of my family or friends have ever thought of, I have trained my mind to believe anything is possible, I want what most of us on this forum want
We don't always see things the same way, she says I am a dreamer. why can't I be happy with what we have. she says.
We have the typical middle class life. 2 cars, nice house, stuff, food on the table, and of course the debt.
She enjoys the comfort of a secure income from a job. I can't talk to her about the ideas I have in my mind, she humours me but doesn't show the support I wish she did.
I talked about giving up my heating business and she asked me where I was going to go to work, not fully understanding that I wouldn't go back to being an employee unless it was temporary. She doesn't understand how I have changed and wont go back
I am trying to get into the fast lane alone.
Anyone in the same car alone? how do you handle it.
