Hey everyone,

So I just quit a highly coveted job in my field... The pay is $38/hr at full rate and a full pension after 30 years. Sounds like a pretty good gig right? The problem with that is, about $80k/year isn't Ferrari money and I am not willing to give away 30 years of my life for basically indentured servitude. It took me a LONG time to get to this point... about 5 years and half of my twenties.

So how am I going to pay my mortgage along with an additional $2k per month in bills? I plan on expanding my father's auto glass business (satisfies CENTS) to achieve financial freedom. It is not going to be easy, I am unsure of how to expand and I won't have a steady income for a while but I am finally ready to start my journey. I would love to hear some pointers on cold calling and getting some new customers. All advice is welcomed and appreciated. Anyway, thanks for reading.
