Progress of my plumbing company: Now $35K/mo...

[Sirrom]

Haven't been this poor ever in my life, my childhood was pretty blessed I have to say and this current situation is making me realise some life lessons.

Nowhere to look but forward!

This thread will be so fun in a few years time, I can't wait. Thanks for anyone still following, I'd hoped to show you some more success by now but know that I'm putting every ounce of strength and energy into growing out of this hole I've dug for myself. We'll get there, I just have a lot to learn.

It will be fun, and cringe. If it’s not cringe enough for you when you re-read your posts 6 months later, you didn’t grow enough.

You hired your first employee. Thats one more than +-80% of the country has hired. It didn’t turn out as well as you’ve planned, but you learned a lot and will take these lessons for the second hire.

You’re in the trenches and it will be all worth it in the end!
