Chem Lawn owns Tru Green, or the other way around, i can't remember. That company is massive! 2.2 billion dollars a year of revenue. My company only makes about $800,000 [:'(]

That's definitely not bad. I'm sure it'll be nice to be your own boss, too. You running it with anysiblings, or just taking over for yourself??

Im taking it over myself, my younger brother isn't what i would call business savy. Its actually a pay cut from what i was making at audi, i pulled $88k last year which was a pretty good year.
But i would gladly take a pay cutt and be my own boss than listen to my stupid *** service writer, all dealerships suck. IMO

$88k/year is awesome. Self-employment combined with financial stability is something I'm sure that far too few people get to experience, though.

is a short timer better than an old timer?
i'd say as long as you can still TELL time, you're good!
