Sometimes I wonder why I ever got into the motorcycle business. This is one of those times, but worse than ever.
Here is my tale of despair:                                                                                    I have made motorcycles my career. After being in the field for over 15 yrs, I got what I thought was my big break. I've wanted to start my own business for a long time. Four years ago I met someone with money who talked me into starting a shop with him. At first things went well. As we began to make money (I ran the shop) he began to step in and make decisions on his own. There is little I can do since he owns controlling interest. Well, his big spending and over confidence in his decision making have created a financial crisis that the company is NOT going to recover from. I,m mad as heck! :|  All my hard work for these years is for nothing. You see, now that everything is going down hill, he has lost all interest in the business. That's fine for him. He doesn't have to work for a living. Me; I'm faced with having to find another job. I guess it's back to being a dealer tech, that is if any of my former competitors will hire me. And my employees, I really feel sorry for them. It's going to be tough to have to give them the bad news. Why couldn't he just leave it alone. I was starting to make us some money.
Any advice or encouragement would be appreciated. I just needed to get this off my chest.
