I opened up my solo business. It is amazing how fast time flies.:-O

It has been a rollar coaster ride. Alot of long hard hours, sleepless nights, but all in all I would do it again. I would change a few things, but I would do it all again.

I raise a :beer: to all the business owners out there. It is a tough but rewarding job. I hope we all make it another year.

Jimmy

Going solo in my own shop was one of the smartest things I ever did. Lots of very hard work and long hours, but no regrets and very grateful for my blessings.

You have made it over the hump, congratulations.

Never Solo usually too busy. In business in Central Florida for almost 25 years. The best 25 years, so far, of my life.

Have a great week! B-)

It was also 5 years ago that the I-35W Mississippi bridge collapsed in Minneapolis, Mn... when I first saw the title that's what I thought it would be referring to.

Congratulations,Jimmy! That's an important milestone that I look forward to reaching. Just make sure you don't get more excited about it than your wedding anniversary! (Don't show it, anyway)

I've got 11 years and 3 months under my belt. I have never regretted the decision to go solo and can't imagine working for someone else ever again. Congrats.
