It's not Jeep related but I still wanted to share.

I have wanted my own shop for years. I have been selling parts for eight years now with Oreilly's. Have been doing automotive repair on the side for several years. Thinking that I should work in a shop to get experience on how to run a shop I quit went to work at a local shop. After a bout year of making somebody else money, and making more on the weekends doing side jobs then I did all week at the shop, I quit the shop in February and started working full time out of my home. Just two weeks ago I went into a shop of a customer from Oreilly's just to ask his advice on how to get started. He said he was ready to retire and I should rent his shop. He pretty much just handed me his complete business. All for a small monthly rent payment. This truly fell right from Gods hands into my lap! Praise The Lord. I am now a shop owner! http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/22/usaruvet.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/22/rybe5ymy.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/22/huru6u8u.jpg

That is AWESOME! Congratulations!

Memorize this feeling. You can draw on it someday when the BS of being a small business owner get's you down.

I'm not being a dreamkiller here, just speaking from experience. All things in life that are kick-ass and worth doing are sometimes hard! Memorizing the feelings during best times will help temper the hard times.
