The best and brightest always say that in order to get ahead n life you have to engage in something. I for one had no idea what I wanted out of life and found myself pondering what oh what could I get myself into that could sustain my way of life and in future cases let me exceed what I was once or am doing and get shot into another realm of financial stability. After looking and looking, I finally settled on owning my own business. It was the first major decision I had undertook in my young adult like. I really didn’t have any special talents or desires, but I loved working on vehicles and I was really good in a garage. So where does one start even looking to fix up old cars and motorcycles full time. Where does one even buy old OEM motorcycle parts?
Well just like all my predecessors before me I hit the yellow pages, or should I say Online pages and started to get some feedback from owners of body shops. Some wanted to talk other told me to go pound sand. I really didn’t have a good understanding of the business world and I had spent four days talking to all kinds of people. Young, old, they all had a different type of view on how to start a company. A lot of them just didn’t want to bother with the time in explaining it, and for that I can’t really blame them, I would to want to waste my time talking to some dumb kid about a dream he might have. So there I was. I had a little bit of knowledge and no idea how I was even going to start the business, even how I was going to afford to get on my feet.
I looked at different banks and unions and many said it was a good idea, but had trouble backing me today in this type of economy. Then my dad came out of left field and helped me with a wonderful idea. He told me that the Federal Government gave grants to small business owners in order to get the companies started. This is just what I needed, not only was it a lot of money, but I did not even have to pay it back. Could it get any better?? Well I signed up and the rest took a while but I finally got the money. The rest I was able to get out of one of those car title loans you see on the internet. Since I had some older cars lying around I put them up for the collateral and the rest I got a couple thousand for. The company held onto them and I paid the interest and the prodigal back until my shop took off. Then I had plenty of money.
