rajncajn Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Very sorry to hear Tom, I know how much it meant to you to be out on your own> Hopefully this is just a temporary setback & you can come back with a vengeance. I will revisit this in the near future but I am very skeptical about trying again in New Orleans. I have learned a lot about what it takes to run a business here and am not sure I am willing to jump through the hoops. Also as I stated in a previous post the crime is just starting to hit way too close to home. I am fairly certain that a relocation is in my future for many reasons. You know you'd get my business over this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 It's not easy at all Tbimm. My BIL started his garage on his own last spring. Even with a large family tossing him bones from every sort of direction possible, he is just keeping his head above water. I mean he gets all sorts of FREE support from people like me that will help him out a few hours a day with simple crap like the phone and paperwork. I will ride and pick up people that are having their cars worked on etc. What I have seen is that it takes and extraordinary effort to make it work. I am not saying that you didn't have that. I am just saying that my BIL has a lot of support and he is only just barely making it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Best wishes for better times soon. This. The comment about NO is right - my local independent car mechanic is backlogged well over two weeks. He's honest, competent and thorough, plus no-one wants to get ripped off by a dealership so they're willing to wait in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbimm Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Not to be a debbie downer, but that is a no freakin duh statement right there. I held out hoping for the best. Not so much. Nobody can tell me I bailed that's for sure! Now it is time to clear my plate and move on. Does that make any sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Dick Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Sorry to hear tbimm. Heck, head to KC. My FIL turns a wrench for a living, and it seems like shops around here are doing pretty good. This is a good, calm place to live. I'll even show you how to smoke some ribs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
