[QUOTE="JMN, post: 257884, member: 8469"] total agreement. For some reason I missed that it was 1/2 a friday. I'll blame vacation brain. [USER=12566]@Hayden40[/USER] , This lab is not my first business, and you'll find that true of multiple succesfull lab owners. I've been told that for most people starting up a business, the first few tries the businesses generally fail. Not always because the idea or location was bad, even though that happens. It's assumed to be easy. In my case, I nearly assumed it to be something you can (excuse the lexical shortcut) give birth to and then have it take care of me, just handing me money and letting me stay in benchworld. Which thinking is how I also lost two businesses that were vital, but undersupported. It is more akin to being a parent of a loving but tempermental child with very special requirements. Or, if you prefer, flying a SR-71. Look away from either's indicators for more than 30 seconds and you could have a very serious problem which could have stopped at a minor tweak had you been fully aware, fully in the moment. I thought because I had a business license, tools, and a phone number, that was enough. Didn't really do any recordkeeping aside from bare minimum checkbook stuff, advertised by placing cheaply printed stuff in ill conceived locations not to the market I needed. Point is, it takes a lot of off bench work, especially at the start, to get a little on bench work. Talk with the city/county/parish/shire/whatever chamber of commerce. Many have meetings for new business owners to help each other, and offer in some cases business plan classes, advanced lvel insight (after you demontrate your willingness to put in the effort to make a real go at it by producing a serious business plan)from members of S.C.O.R.E. (Service Corp of Retired Executives) at no charge. They will know about business classes in the area, know what attourneys practice business law. They are very willing to give assistance, and they want you to get massive success, so they can generate more taxes. The first six months to a year, I did peobably 2/3rds off bench work to 1/3 bench work. Generating marketing copy, finding ways to expand service without expanding hard overhead. Reading acccountng, business, advertising, psychology, and even stories of black hat hackers social enginerring accounts :) . What it comes down to is very simple, but not easy. The moment you stop trying to learn to be a better businessman, or make your business better at core sellable functions or ancillary requirements, the clock starts till when it will he hihgly likely to fall in on you.
