Default Starting a New Business

Why is it just sooooooooo damn Expensive.

Cant seem to see light at the end of the tunnel at the moment.

I'm sure there is somewhere.

Just seem to be spending money left, right and centre.



Anyway rant over, im back to work.

Mr Sterling is a demanding man

hard work running your own buisness,especially relying on couriers and parcel firms as i have to.but when its running right the rewards are worth it.

it does all work out in the end Ryan. I was in the same boat as you a8 months ago, allbeit on a part time basis. Costs out here there and fookin everywhere. I now operate it full time and the money is starting to come in now and not straight out again! (plus all me assets are all paid for! )

Ryan,

All the best with your bussiness.

I started my own at the age of 18, im 25 now.

As long as you like the work you do and achieve goals on a daily basis you will succeed if you have high expectations.

BTW your cheque has been sent.

Regards
Jano
