We have some really nice trucks, trailers & shiny equipment. All paid for from our efforts. Have a large shop, office and nice property. All being paid for from our efforts. Other than that, we're still waiting for the "rich" part.
Our first season we grossed just under 6 figures, with a 28% net before tax profit. That all went back into the operation. As does the majority of our proceeds each season, after our business & personal bills are paid for. When I was a sales/marketing manager, I made nearly 6 figures in salary, and was miserable. Now, I could claim poverty level, but would not change anything. We have a strong business model & plan, and a defined vision for our company & personal futures. So, someday I'll vacation on the beach all winter, but until then, work, work, work. Did I mention work?
That being said, it's a stupid question!!! If you don't know how much money you can make, what the initial investment is, and what the market need & conditions are......YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS STARTING A BUSINESS!!!
