markalot Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Never tell me the odds! Yes, you do. Yes, we all do. Shred the evidence, denial is your friend. Just act like this is normal. 2 Link to comment

Hexadron Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 LOL. I am still buying equipment and have spent well over $1000 I try not to look at my statements, and just pay them as usual. But damn, am I ever getting a lot of Air Miles for all these purchases lately! Link to comment

Formula462 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Pssssshit I don't even know. Nowhere near as much as some of my clients and members on here have I'm sure, but definitely more than a few grand. Of course I get everything wholesale and have for some time, so that has to translate higher somehow I guess. Link to comment

I'm pretty sure you have to include the cost of your store in how much you have invested Link to comment
rhoman Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 "Invested". Ha. I'm in about $2500. Link to comment
Hexadron Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 When you get things cheaper you want more. Catch 22. 1 Link to comment

Formula462 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm pretty sure you have to include the cost of your store in how much you have invested Well it's me and two others, and I am not the financial backer by any means. I run the place with Mike and David, but I am not the owner. Mike would tell you otherwise in the sense that I have put in a lot of late hours and sweat and some blood too! He wants to offer ownership when the time is right. The plan is once the store gets going full steam and making profit, (fingers crossed) I can buy in, which I would totally do as long as I felt confident in the future and that's just the flat out business truth.

Very, very, very, smart man. LFS are not known for being highly profitable capital ventures, so if you manage to love your hobby and make a job out of it while not going broke, then that alone is good enough. Link to comment
