    Adding Overhead

    Well, here goes nothing!
    Employee #3 starts on Friday.
    Currently, we are limited only by the time it takes to push the product through!
    Next month, who knows?
    (Shall I keep posting these updates?)

    Absolutely. Inspiring to see that it can be done. Just not willing to give up my day job at this point.

    Magic Johnson we all know he was a great basketball player. Went to a business class where he was a speaker. I always remember that he speaks well and a very smart business man. One of the things he said: If you have a process that takes three people, figure out how it can be done with only two!

    Mt: don't quit your day job unless that inner voice tells you to (and your wallet!) I have 2 full time jobs! Never mind taking care of a couple of sick folks.

    spinroch: scrap is good

    Good luck! If I lived a bit closer I'd swing by and talk about some PT work. You wouldn't be disappointed - I'm smarter than the average walnut.

    Very inspirational, I hope to move up and advance my business as the years go on, possibly buy a scrapyard. This goes to show scrapping is more than a part time thing for "extra money" or to "make ends meet" because that's not how I want to live my life.
