Small Business

[Richard Wolf]

I have been in business for myself for over 25 years. I think the real challenge to being in business is the ability and desire to solve problems. No matter the nature of your business, pitfalls and problems with always pop up. Its how you handle them that makes you successful or not. If you are thinking about going into business for yourself, I would suggest you sit down with someone that will be honest with you to discuss the negitives, we all can list the positives.
Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Richard i agree. im basically a negative person and get in trouble 9 out of 10 times because of it. but ive seen to many people fail in cabinetry because they started on a positive note but never figured on the negative parts of the business.

i run a part time cabinet shop and work in a full time cabinet shop. i cant run mine full time because there are 7 cabinet shops in a 10 mile radius of mine. i build med. to high end cabinets and they build low to med. builders grade cabinets.

whats this mean.... i cant compete with there production and i havent found enough of the high end work in this area. i get busy enough ill be running strong for 2-3 months, after that nothing for the same time.

so part time sounds good to me .....jack
