Limousine Company: Pros, Cons?

[bison]

Hey everyone!

Anyone out there know anything about running a limousine company or have opinions on doing so?
Stories!? Insight? Thoughts?

I'm 22 and though im realy not sure if its fastlane or not, im very passionate about it and
right now I'm in a situation in which i have about five 15 passenger van/shuttle buses
under my ownership, that are only utilized for about 2 hours per day for another business (afterschool program).

My plan was to perhaps start a transportation / limousine company so that maybe i can
put these vehicles to full use and obtain some actual limousines.

I'm here with open ears! What are your thoughts on this?

Buy Fastlane. He literally answers all of these questions.

Also, why no intro? (I mean, my intro was in a blog post, but still haha)

Read MJ's book.

Best decision in my life was NOT to start a limousine company. Anyway, my specific opinions are detailed thoroughly in the book. Additionally, you may want to pay attention to WHY you want to start a company ... is it because there is a bonafide NEED in your marketspace? Or is the need selfish!? I suspect the latter, which makes the venture, unFastlane.
