[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 580438, member: 484"] No reason to be sorry. Everybody thinks I am making a killing now that I own my own business. Nothing could be further from the truth. Per hour worked, I make less than anybody that works here. And when there is not enough money to make the payroll, I am the first that does not get paid. In two weeks, with a booming business, you can dig a hole so fast, it would take you years to climb back out of. Sometimes you can never do it. My brother was one. Everything hit at once, paid 150 grand to ship out a new catalog. Within two weeks, he had everyone but himself on layoff, and he was working for free. Tried to keep the business running for another 5 weeks, and had to declare bankruptcy. His was not all on the UPS strike, but it was what pushed him over the top. The year before, his net profits on the business was 200 grand plus. Didnt lay back for that rainy day....... d [/QUOTE]
