This has been a dream ive had for awhile, to start my own shop. it would be fairly decent sized shop that i would probably build using a US steel building. My family wants/has land. I was thinking about 10 acres enough for me and my family (want to start a small farm)
What does it take to start a buisness and run it successfully?
Im currently getting ready to go back to school to earn my associates in Buisness management at a college across the street. my 10 year plan has been to find a decent amount of land (forget washington, way too expinsive here) get my dealers licence to legally sell cars (im tired of selling cars the "hard" way and the way my friends show me could get me in a heap of trouble), find all the tools neccesary, my buisness degree, a class A CDL, have a shop built that could accomidate atleast 11 cars. (my uncle is a mason and my grandad is an electrician, if you look at some of the houses in monroe louisiana, theve built) and some mechanical expierience. I dont have alot of actual mechanical experience, (I know the real simple chit, batteries, air filters,tires, PCV, plugs, wires, and maybe fuel pumps) know the parts of and engine and what they do, but dont ask me to replace them let alone where to start especially with electrical components, however I can do a bit of bodywork and I have expierience finding parts for people and purchasing/selling cars online for a profit margin.
I would like your honest opinion and expertiese. Im also thinking of getting a part time job at a dealership and an intership at a mechanics shop nearby that does good buisness.
