need advice
« on: January 10, 2010, 04:31:33 PM »
I have been running one of my business's now for 4 years and after a tough start we had a couple of good years.  This last year was SHIT and it broke me financially and spiritually.   After all the shit I still want to keep going because I know I can make it great again.  Does this make me stubborn or just plain stupid.  I put everything into this thing and the only reason it went south was a couple of employees fucked up a huge job that I was doing for cash and it cost me a fortune to correct it out of pocket.     I also split with the wife and she screwed me like a whore.   I was crushed and needed time off. SO the time I should have spent fixing things I spent travelling and trying to escape my hectic  life at least for a moment.  This is a construction business and with spring just around the corner I feel that now is the time to make a effort.   
I need some outside perspective. 

PLease no flamers  I have many other active threads should you feel the need.  Thanks

think u already know what to do....the ole horse and getting back on it thing...
file the bad times away as "lessons learned" and if possible use what you learned through the screw up to make even more $ and better the business....

i personally dont know much about business but my dad does and i've seen him tough it out quite a few times only to come out on top in the end....

you r not stupid ....just a good businessman....i say...give it your all
carpe` vaginum!

Are you the same slacker that posted some pro's pic as yours about 3 or 4 years ago?  Why yes you are....

If the business works stick with it, it'll come back.  If it wasn't worth much before the fuck ups fucked up, then move on.  If not, take a lesson from the fuckups and keep going.  Not sure if it's something you can insure against, maybe someone else can chime in on that.

Thanks for the advice guys.  I needed a little kick in the ass.
