    Going through the desert

    EXECUTION 
    This post seemed to come at the same time I posted my other reply. I got some of the answers to my questions now, that’s as bad timing. Can you reasonably slow your growth so that some profits can pay you rather than just go into more inventory?

    Going through the desert

    EXECUTION 
    Is the problem that there isn’t any profits yet or that you guys are reinvesting all of the profit to build the business. I believe it is very important to pay yourself even if it’s a smaller amount right off the start, I never did this with my first 2 businesses but now with the current...

    The value of a business partner

    PEOPLE 
    That’s very well put, thanks for the reply MJ. One of the first things we talked about before going into business together was our visions and they did align well. We already knew each other work ethics, I think our priorities have also been similar up to this point. If either of us has a...

    I've Read The Great Rat-Race Escape!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I’ve read the book. I liked how it told a story people can relate to. Unscripted is still my favourite!

    quick update, I will not be updating this thread anymore after this, I will be starting a new thread on the inside. Anyway yesterday we bought another truck at auction, this is a higher ticket one that should yield a greater net return around 40-50%. We had hoped to buy 2 up to 3 trucks at the...

    The higher ticket trucks are just newer with automatics, they bring more money but don’t cost too much to buy just as trucks before the box is mounted, that’s at auctions anyway. I’m not sure how fast they will sell, we try to be priced competitive, we will have to see once we try to sell a high...

    I just download WhatsApp now. Seems fairly simple, you need other persons phone number to chat by the looks? Otherwise I’ve used zoom to video chat before.

    Looking Accountability Partner ASAP

    HI there, I'm looking to find another entrepreneur that could use someone to hold them accountable. I currently run a farm operation, trucking business and equipment sales venture. I have trouble sticking to what I need to do and staying focused. I'm looking for someone to share goals and habits...

    I'll give a quick update, not a whole lot has changed. It is taking longer to sell the grain truck than we originally thought. After more extensive market research we came to the conclusion that our pricing is correct but the timing is out. demand for grain trucks is highest in spring and the...

    Just a quick update, the load of scrap metal paid $540 so not what I was hoping but cash is good. The box for the grain truck we are building should be built by end of next week sometime. It is very busy right now on the farm with starting harvest but we want to keep things moving so we will...

    No I bet they’re gross is no more than 500k+/- I do my numbers different, I got the structure from the book profit first. I believe they could be “profit” 100k. But I doubt they calculate it the way I do. My pay for driving the truck is not included in my profit, it’s in owners pay. I’m also...
