    Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?

    GOLD! 
    This really hit home for me since I am turning 40 in just a few days. I am not in a dead end job but I do feel "anxious" that time is not on my side and I have a lot more things I want to do. I better get busy!

    AMA Rules?

    I'm a stay at home dad of 8 kids (soon 9). Ask me anything, anything at all. I have changed more than 25,000 diapers in the past 10 years. No joke. I have even changed a shit diaper in 6 seconds. You think I'm lying? It's all about preparation.

    5 [Horrible] Reasons to NOT Be Rich

    FUNNY 
    There is a lot of money spent to make sure the American people believe this mindset. Rich = bad.

    Sounds like a decent plan! I'm trying to think how to scale the business but really can't think of anything other than broadening my geographic location and increasing help over time. Part of me is saying go for it and another part of me is warning me against it due to lack of scaleability, and...

    What are your thoughts on putting the business in a trust? I've been looking into trusts and we currently own 2 homes and I'm sure we'll have more assets, investments, etc.

    I doubt I'll do it as an s-corp, but I'll talk to my accountant either way. Operating Agreement sounds fair and it's simple good business practice! Not sure I like the idea of my wife being involved LOL. I'll have to think about that one. :)

    Here is a question regarding ownership. I have 8 kids and 1 on the way, so let's talk longterm and consider 9 kids to eventually work their way into this. We also have to consider 1 or more of them deciding they don't want to participate. Unlikely. But certainly plausible. I don't want to force...

    ah okay. Yeah I'm following 100%. I'm quite the visionary so I can certainly show them what they need to do in order to accomplish certain goals. We have family meetings every day already and communicate effectively. I think the biggest issue will be execution (as always). Before coming up with...

    What do you mean exactly by this, if you don't mind me asking. Like pretending the biz is doing well when it really isn't? (as an example)

    You want to help me select a name for the biz? I was thinking of narrowing it down to 3 or 4 and then having the kids vote on it some how. Two ideas come to mind (our family name is Remington - yes the people at Remington Arms are related but quite distantly ;) ) Remington Care Services...

    I think it could be fun. Hard work but fun. I think it will be important that I lead also by example and get in there and get dirty. I don't want to come across as though I am "farming" out my children so I can benefit. In fact, I doubt I'll take any of the cash. It would go to them and then...

    Excellent post and I especially like the part about instilling family principles such as providing value rather than focusing on the cash. Much to absorb, thank you!!

    Anyone within hour of Tampa, FL area?

    PEOPLE 
    Anyone in the Tampa, FL area who is looking to hire help? My cousin is looking to move to the area and is seeking employment. He's NOT a fastlaner and is looking for "solid employment". Has a masters in biz, was a math teacher for years then got into sales for a golf simulation company. He's a...

    Another option I had thought of was teaching the kids how to put up tents. We have only one at the moment but if someone needed to rent a tent for an event for the day/weekend, we could show up, assemble it, come back to take it down, etc. We would need more tents but I know someone who does...

    The kids are great kids and actually quite reliable. All their teachers like them and I am proud to say that my kids ALWAYS know to say please and thank you (or I'd wring their necks lol). They are very polite kids. But I really think in this sort of setting would be a good test for them. It's...

    I posted something like this maybe a year ago, but things are a bit different now. Basically my older kids, ages 15, 14, 12, and 10, are interested in making a little bit of cash. They are hard workers and great kids overall! They are especially good at cleaning. An idea I thought about was...
