Is it dumb for me to do a startup right now?
Welcome to the forum; I joined not long ago myself. What would be the hours of operation of this business and what days? How many staff would it have? Who would actually be managing the day-to-day operations of the business? If not yourself, what do you plan on paying a professional manager...- GameOver

A Complete Meal in a Bag of Chips? Is my idea a flop?
NOTABLE! IDEA@juanalou, congratulations on taking the first few steps on starting-up your own business. I hope to be there myself in the next few years. I am not involved in this area of business at all, but I do buy lots of health food items and have been looking for a meal-replacement item for some time...- GameOver

Extremely successful Corp. America burnout looking for freedom. Let's talk about it!
INTROAbout a year or two ago I looked into buying a local brick-and-mortar because it was just such a value buy. I thought maybe the owner just wanted to retire, which was the stated reason, but in the end something just didn't feel right and I didn't do it. I walked away wondering if that was the...- GameOver

Extremely successful Corp. America burnout looking for freedom. Let's talk about it!
INTROOh my gosh you are so right - I'm a pretty above-board individual but I'm not naive I know that goes on in our world - but I am so shocked at some of the things I have heard from a friend who has tried to go down this path multiple times. Either through incompetence or downright deception...- GameOver

Extremely successful Corp. America burnout looking for freedom. Let's talk about it!
INTROThanks for the message. This is a good guess - in fact when I first started managing this was exactly me. After a while I learned to focus on hiring good people, making sure there was an appropriate process in place that allowed good decisions to be made and people to excel, and transitioning...- GameOver

Extremely successful Corp. America burnout looking for freedom. Let's talk about it!
INTROHey thanks for the email, I find yours particularly interesting. This is an interesting comment. I have read that a lot of folks who leave their company to start their own business, because they are tired of working for someone else, often report that in the end they feel they are simply...- GameOver

Extremely successful Corp. America burnout looking for freedom. Let's talk about it!
INTROI'm being deliberately vague "for reasons" as they say.... I will say it is a Fortune 500 company. Nope, I direct the development of a series of products, decide what goes in and what does not, get them to market, and we then sell them. Most industries would probably lump me into an...- GameOver

Extremely successful Corp. America burnout looking for freedom. Let's talk about it!
INTROThanks I appreciate it! I didn't mention this in my intro, but one complication is that it would be difficult for me to leave my job and open my own company up in this same industry. I would most likely have to enter a new market industry. But, what I do is kind of tech related so that is...- GameOver

Extremely successful Corp. America burnout looking for freedom. Let's talk about it!
INTROHey thanks for the warm welcome. Actually yes, most of it has been a lot of fun. I created a product that our company didn't exactly care about because they thought it was small potatoes, and customers didn't exactly know that they needed. I was told "no" a lot. I took a few pages from the...- GameOver

INTROOne more thing... I should mention that several of my friends are in high-level positions at other companies... what I've described is the same everywhere. One of those friends quit his corporate job last year and started his own business. Almost immediately he was successful and started making...- GameOver

INTROSo I am literally chapter one of the Millionaire Fastlane book. I went to college, got a degree, got a good job, got another degree, and started climbing the corporate ladder. I am really thankful for the career I have had and by all accounts I have done extremely well. I'm in management at a...- GameOver
