maybe I should already know this, but I don't, so sue me!

any of you own and operate your own business?

If so, would you care to share what it is and if it's profitable?

It's something I've often thought of doing myself, either a resort type thing or a sports bar/restaurant type thing.

My biggest problem is I have a pretty good job, even though I don't enjoy it at all anymore, but the money, benefits, security etc etc is all really good. I'm chicken to walk away.

I don't own a company, but I work at a small one that sells/supports software. Great margins in software. High cost for intellectual property and a dvd(or maybe not even that)

If you are doing a restaurant I have heard keep the variety of food needed small to cut down on waste and get cheaper prices.

If you do franchise you will most likely have to start up 2-3 to make the income you do now, but you'll have tax breaks so...

Anything you can get a government grant for is great too. Free money for just a decent(what I hear) business plan..

that's all I got

I'm amazed how much consultants get to give their crappy opinion. I know some people analyze company networks, long distance, and data centers and get a % on the efficiencies they help implement. Save a million take home 100k. Lots of waste out there...

I co-owned and operated a small business from age 18 - 21. Event promotion, online record store, and physical-location record store. We were profitable but took very minimal salaries and all profits went back into growing the business. It was basically just something to have fun with and learn from while I was young and debaucherous.

I work for a small business now (12 employee consulting firm). I do some consulting work on the side as well, but that's not a huge income stream. Just take things as they come along. Charge a nominal hourly fee. Have considered going out on my own, but like you, have a salary, great benefits, and a fear of being unable to build a sustainable income stream and establish myself at a relatively young age in a very good-old-boy-driven business.

      Worst Panthers Preseason Yet

      By Shotgun · Posted

      The panthers are such a trash organization at this point that all the huddle can do is argue about which panthers team is historically the worst…good times.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Well, hope they're not worried about a torn Labrum or Rotator Cuff, as someone who went through that myself, I know those don't have anything show up on X-Rays but from the MRI, so this is kinda a nothing update, hope it's not a tear or his season is already over if they decide to do surgery now. Which is basically what would be needed to get him to 100% for the start of next season's training camp if it's a labrum.  If he plays the season with it and then does surgery, he's not going to be ready for camp and probably not the start of the season either.

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I always try to not pay much attention to a team’s preseason win/loss record. The 1982 Washington and 2021 LA Rams both lost every game in the preseason and went on to win the Super Bowl, whereas the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns both won every game in reason and went on to lose every regular season game. There’s many examples of teams that lose in preseason that go on to have good seasons, but equally there are teams that lose in preseason and that continues in the regular season. Which will we be?  I think our floor is a handful of wins, while our ceiling will probably be around the 9-10 win mark. The latter will require significant improvement from the whole team and coaching staff, and will also need Bryce to play like the QB we drafted him to be. I want to be optimistic and predict a winning season, but it’s really difficult as a Panthers fan!
