[QUOTE="ironworker, post: 823932, member: 51090"] business is a tough place in a world full of soaring prices for anything from workmans comp, general liability insurance and material prices which change on a weekly basis. I am half owner of a Structural Steel fabrication company in Calif., we currently have 17 loyal hard working employees both in the shop and we are union Ironworkers in the field. weekly payroll is around $35,000 Insurances run approx. $28,000 a month and general overhead another $45,000 anyone who has been in business for them selfs knows how hard it is to keep that kind of cash flow running through the bank 24/7. We have 8 separate contracts on going as this time, each contract with a separate owner architect ect, this makes for 8 separate clients to answer to daily, the funny thing about being a sub contractor is that you perform your work per the schedule given however you are never paid on time, with almost 1/2 Mil. out past 60 days you can understand why I am a candidate for a heart attack at an early age. as I watch my employees share stories and laugh with and at the other as they work it makes me almost envious that I sit in my office struggling to make it all happen, as a matter of fact a lot of time I wish I were them. Call after call someone needs something added, deleted or changed, not tomorrow, today. For those who are like me I always hold a high regard because I know what it takes to make it happen, but I hold the highest regard for those smart enough not get themselves in so deep they simply could never walk away. It could be that owning a store or having a bike repair shop is easier but some how I just don't think so. Anyone else own there own business and think like me or do I need to see a shrink? Sorry this thread was so long I just needed to vent, I wish it would all go away today. Rich [/QUOTE]
