Re: *Maybe* starting a new business

One of my good buddies created a business with his friend, and guess what it was a detail shop as well. It was in Burnsville, MN. It was going fine, but then the friend started slacking off and tony found himself doing all of the work then closed the shop due to not enough business in the winter.
There are three main things that you need to think of:
1. Surviving the winter
2. Getting a business plan and pitching it to investors
3. Getting a list of Dealerships that would be willing to have you detail their cars.
Dealerships are the greatest resource you have, use them.

other then that i would say be sure to have a backup plan, because filing for bankruptcy at a young age is not a good way to start your life in the business world. There are two kinds of people in this world, Dreamers and Doers, which one are you? Dreamers think of all of these great ideas but have no plans of how to actually make it work, sure they try now and then but in the end its usually the same scenario. Doers make sure they plan very carefully for the long run, they make sure they can survive in the business and then the do it, go full boar and dont stop until they have reached the goal. ok my rant is over.
