  6. More Questions About Business, Getting Customers?

    My 2c.... Join the service - free college while you're in, awesome for your resume. Go in for an electronics job.... 4 years down the road you'll be set. I was in your position about 12 years ago.... (decided the military is a great place to be, still in free college classes, making OK$$, happy for sure)

    again, just my little input.

    NO! dont go join the military for the free schooling thats what the hell is wrong with shit now. i hope thats not why you joined cause that shit makes me sick. i see alot of people just join the military as a way out, not because they are interested in defending our country. if in fact you have always wanted to fight for your country then by all means go... and thank you in advance. most of these young boys i see thats all they do get in for the enlistment bounus and the school if they are not completly retarded , do there first 4 and get out the same asshole they were before but now there showin off in there new car wit 24's.....complete pussies. you join the military do it for life and because its what you always wanted. otherwise stay the hell out.

    Just know that small business owners 95% of the time DO NOT profit for the first few years they're open. If anything they fall even more in debt than what they already were. So if you're looking for a "get rich quick" scheme then look elsewhere. But if you do go fourth with it, good luck.

    i strongly second this, you WILL spend more than you make in the first 2-4 years. building up many things that will make you buisness sucessful in the future. you will fail very very fast if you let this get to you. if you are in debt and you have a family to provide for then this will be a very scary thng to do, trust me i own a buisness and have yet to make it a full time thing because what happens if i dont make it, what happens isf i cant pay rent, what happens if something happens to my wife or my kids or me. when you work for yourself insurance aint so cheap, i know people that pay over $1500 a month for him and his wife. there are so many factors here its hard to get into. dont get me wrong do what you love or else whats the point. maybe try to work a few more years to pay off your debts then when you dont have them you will have more peace of mind when you decide to spend/invest your money. we all love our vehicles and our systems but maybe now isnt the right time to go all out. you might have some money in your pocket but should you buy that nice new Sundown amp or should you pay down some debt. what will help you in the long run. do you know any of the people that owned the stereo shops that have opend and closed? if so find out what happened, i mean some people just dont have it, some people get in over there head, some people cant handle the time it takes to start a buisness. you will find that all your time will be put into your buisness if you are really truly into it. it will cause issues at home, make sure the people in your life are there for you, you cant do it by yourself. on the loan note, if your married maybe it should be your wifes buisness, women and minorities get loans way easier than a white guy. point blank. also banks are scared as hell right now i dont know the situation in Canada but here, they are pulling loans from people left and right. i am in the lumber/hardware industry so i have seen many many people go out of buisness. the economy is separating "the men from the boys" the guys that know what they are doing and the guys that try to make you think they know what they are doing. i know some great builders that have had there loans pulled after they started building, banks wont risk it and the way things are going now failure right around the corner for a ton of buisnesses. go pay for buisness license, print out fliers and get some cards, Vista print is very reasonable and they have tons of options, get your name out there get your car lettered show off your system or others that you have done. shops dont make money off of big SPL setups, they make it off installing prefab boxes and alarms. my shops around here are fuckin gay as hell, they were impressed, like really impressed with my 1/0 wire. they guy was trying to sell me some 4 ga untill i showed my Knukoncepts. start off small and advertise. dont spend a fortune on advertising but like i said get some cards and get your car lettered or your boys cars lettered. fliers, more or less a lost cause you could make 2000 and not get a call. been there done that. i know im all over the place but sit down and get a game plane together, look at you income now and your outgoing money. pay down some debt, save some. everytime you are about to buy a videogame or something you really dont need take that money and put it into your buisness or into a savings account for your future buisness. there is no such thing as getting rich quick or we would all be rich. keep you head up and dont let my rant get you down, i could go on for days about this. another thing to remember is that anyork you do, you are responsible for. it bothers me that you think your a loser. i dont know you but im sure your not a loser, everyone has hard times. keep your head up and dont let some little shit get you down. i am your age and i have a shit load of problems, i have a ton of debt, i have a wife and 3 kids to take care of and its scary and sometimes i get depressed but i always think that my time will come, im puttin in work everyday so my kids and my wife get what they want and dont go without. i mean i been trying to come up with some money to buy me a new amp and i dont have it yet but i know i spent enoght money on my kids and my wife that i could have bought 2 amps, but like i said my day will come and so will yours, your not a loser, just another dude trying to get by itll balance out in the end. again i know i been all over the place with this but i hope you got something from it. if you have any questions you can PM. you sound like a dude that wants something out of life, keep at it and you will succeed.

    well, i should know tomorrow i told him ill take 2.

    vending is a great hustle. there is a guy that lives near one of me friends and he has one in his driveway, mind you he just lives in a residential are and not near any buisnesses, he make mad money from just people who walk by and my buddy. think if you put those things at your work or at one of your friends jobs, a car wash, a local grocer. you could be refilling that thing everday or two. i worked for a place called Vendor Supply here in VA and we pulled mad orders for small vending companies and they were getting like 3-4 pallets EVERYDAY. $175 is a steal, infact more like armed robbery. jump on that and watch some extra car audio/video/rims/tires and paint money come in...... i mean bill paying/childrens clothing and wife stuff money come it. :)

    well before i started coming on the forums i used liquid nails...probably just as good...but yea i use titebond also

    i dont see why liquid nail wouldnt work. but just like some silicone, no way. my dad got this box made of plexi, they use it for people to put money in a bike shows for BACA(bikers against child abuse)and who ever made it used clear silicone.....well saturday after a show he put it on the couch and it just fell apart... i mean it just colapsed, i would love to see what an MDF box would do .

    looks good. did you use any wood glue or just caulk

    LOL... i used plenty of wood glue. Titebond III is what i used. thats crazy, i wonder how long it would take for my box to explode with just caulk holding it together. thanks for asking though cause had i not used wood glue i may have just learned something... and to anyone that was thinking of not using woodglue.... USE WOOD GLUE.

    looks good, but whats with the top baffle?

    im going to assume you mean the edge of it? instead or a roundover bit i used a cove bit. so instead of it being rounded out it "rounds" in... lol i guess that makes sence. i am a bit worried about how to finish the box though. i wanted to go with somoe black suede since i can get it pretty cheap but the coved edges make me wonder how im goin to do it... we shall see. i got to sand all my edges , drill and install my studs for the wiring tonight. i didnt do much cause we had tornado watches this afternoon......70 somthing outside and there was crazy rain and hail about the size of marbles.
