I really want to consult my fellow reefers if they would take the opportunity if it came up.
I've known a wholesaler for quite sometime and never got into discussion about business propositions because of my schedule. I recently got a new job due to a recent pending layoff.
Come months down the road I find myself servicing an IT HELPDESK of about 1000+ clients. I have to handle these calls, perform call backs, ensure ALL systems and different distribution methods are being received by the client.
So this week I just got really burnt out. Non-stop work and finding myself with work I could not keep track of.
Now comes the twist from the beginning of the story!
We talk about the business proposition and he's gone through this prior and he was screwed by his business partners. He's seen my tank and though it's not the greatest. I have a pretty good understanding of the hobby which can easily translate to entrepreneurship! I've always wanted to be my own boss and work hard to deserve the money in my pocket. Yet, I've never wanted to make that step in certain directions because I did not feel my brain can handle slowing down with analyzing etc from being an IT for 10~ years.
To the question, since it's getting pretty lengthy already. Would you translate your hobby into a business?
I've seen many like knockout kelvin and jason go through this and I think they are doing quite well.
**This would be an online retailer but can sell locally out of the place that we would end up renting. This would also give a much needed great seller in the NNJ area.
Any suggestions or advice would be great!! I have not made up my mind and you can sway my opinion!! In the end, I will always chose what's best for me but some people like 3rd party insight....
