Good luck Vector Sigma 13 :) Funny thing is I was just talking to the wife about this tonight after watching that Undercover Boss show. I came to the realisation that with a wife, two kids, and a mortgage, it would be a very risky investment. I think if you're going to start your own business, you have to get in there while you're still young as you've maybe got less to loose.
I did encourage her though that if she wanted to start her own business, I would support her 100%. At least we would have my job to fall back on.
Good luck VS13... hope we can still see ya at some of the Meets! :)
Good luck matey, hope it all goes well.
Good Luck VS13, a lot of hard work ahead no doubt. :)
Thanks for the kind thoughts guys. Turns out i wont be "quitting" as soon as i would like. Im going to try and start the business going on weekends and see how it goes from there.
Small business seems to be a big challenge. Maybe there should be a small business thread? lol
I know there are a couple of people who are working for themselves on this board.
I can see the point to the thread but I come to OTCA to escape my business not discuss it:pQuote:

Not so much absence, but I'm going to try to reduce my level of interaction on this board. This is something I've been thinking about for a long time now, and one of the main reasons why I've come to this decision is because, well... I'm spending more time TALKING about Transformers instead of PLAYING with them, and that to me is just spastic!
So I'm gonna try to cut down my online time and increase my play time! :) Like I said, I won't be totally gone, but I won't be around as much. But what this means is that if you want to get a message to me and I'm not replying to your post, then feel free to PM me. If you're on my Facebook or MSN (or if you have my mobile no.) then try those first so you don't end up clogging my inbox. ;)
To infinity, and beyond!
No you're not ;) You can't help yourself :pQuote:

And one giant line for admission... :pQuote:

Hope it's not too bad. All the best mate.
Well things are getting a bit better now. Ran into a money bump recently so I'll probably be out of the TF market until I can find another job. Better find one quick though in preparation for DOTM!!Quote:

Financial bumps suck. I know, because I am in one now, and have been for about 8 months. We have found a way to manage it at least. But still on a massivley tight budget is not an easy thing to do.
All the best mate, hope you find a new job soon.
LMAO! True... :DQuote:
