It's remarkable how much business revolves around marketing yourself and showing up, sounding like you know what you're doing. Can't wait to have a 180 website and hand people a business card.

that's 90% of it

The main problem for me has been that I can't grow fast enough. Potential clients want to see a website, and want me have the infrastructure set up to handle potential deals. So 180.

However I am thinking about getting a fully remote shit job that pays like 20/30k and has benefits that I can do on the side. Would be 180 to get 401k and health insurance and just do some real easy work for 20hrs a week, like "technical writer" or some "marketing analyst" jerb I can do at home. Will apply tonight.

So far it's been 180 being out of the work force and my former colleagues are all proud of me and trying to help me out with the new business. So 180!

so, build up some cash reserves. do not take out anywhere close to whatever you are calculating as your profit. trust me.

another rule of thumb: whatever you've projected as your cash needs for the first year, take that number and multiply by 3. that's how much cash you should have (or credit you can access) to be able to succeed.

hope this is helpful. it's 180 working for yourself.

edit: one other piece of advice, you're in for an emotional rollercoaster. i don't care how level headed you think you are. owning a business is a series of euphoric moments (you're having one now) and nights where you have trouble sleeping. it's exhilarating and emotionally exhausting at the same time.

There are about 3-4 bigger shops doing exactly what I'm doing on a large scale. They charge more for the same service and are 6-12 person companies. I think there is definitely room for me to undercut them and make solid 6-figs without needing to take a large portion of the market from them. Just | Might | Make It

There is also good potential growth to get into RE sales, which could be what I pivot to long term. Although running the management company is not mutually exclusive to selling a few homes a year and making an extra 50k.

Today I am showing a property to a couple, the women is a "model." I googled her and saw a lot of nude, semi-nude pics. Hard to believe one month ago I was sitting at a desk all day taking orders from some effeminate dude!

30k SA you won't get most of that money until the following year when you file your return...firms withhold as if you were making 160k. it's not that much after taxes anyway.
