More than I can say

Is this your attempt to gaslight me? It matches your personality. I already told you I don't care about money and clearly recall you saying that you won't take advice from some 20 year industry vet that's still out working. Anyone with half a brain can read that and discern what you meant...

Attempting to insult me doesnt change the fact that you intentionally made misleading claims, like your alone time at Epcot that you made out to be a family vacation. You can't even keep up with what you said. You said $3.5, your math says 2.7 then you back peddle again and say a little under...

You're skipping the important things and keep contradicting yourself. You just said 3.5, now its just under 3m (2.7m is a little under 3?) and also said you will run into slow months but Q1 is your slow time? Which is it? Why are you so hyper focused on this 1 quarter with 1 big sale? What...

I use an electric paper rounder on ACM and 040. I'm pretty sure the dies are the same as the one that was posted and it goes right through it. It'll even do 080 but it's a bit of an ask out of it.

I thought you were on vacation at Epcot on the company's dime? You vacation alone? You walk when things get hot, guess you have to regroup for round 3?

You said, 225k/month right? That is 2.7m. Plus, who speaks about single quarter revenue when they have last years fiscal year to brag about? I can answer why. You do a lot of bragging for having a shitty margin. You're making me feel like Bill Gates over here

You obviously don't know me. Unlike some of you other guys, I don't feel any need to gloat and go on about what our revenue is or size of my business. It has no bearing on debating business philosophy.

I gotta make shit up as I go, quit being so reasonable.

Wait. So you'll pay someone to tell you what you want to hear and take that as the gospel but will ignore the people with decades of business experience as if they are beneath you? You think you're something special and maybe you are but there are holes in everything you say. How long did...

You said you did it for months but now say people can be replaced in a few days, which one is it? It sounds to me like you haven't really been faced with this yet so you have this illusion that you are somehow immune from what everyone else deals with. I always have listened to the old timers...

Phrases from the unicorn business books for people who think they're gonna become a unicorn.

Exactly so if your net is 20-30%, fairly average, then you need around $800k in additional revenue just to cover this added person. To get that extra $800k, now you need more space, people and machines which gets stacked on top and the cycle repeats forever until you put on the brakes or spend...

That's what I'm saying, in order to get this idea of freedom you have, you have to do more and more which is self defeating. Nobody sticks around forever, even 50/50 business partners eventually split, in fact, I saw that unfold the other day with a multi million dollar construction business...

Are you going to buy the ticket yourself or hire Uber to go to the store for you so you have more time to watch TV?

I more meant that after basic monetary needs are met, then anything above that doesn't matter as long as the work is enjoyable but that's in the context of being self employed. I'm not working for anyone but myself for free. You're correct that 1 person can't do everything, you do what you...

There are many examples of companies that are end to end producers so that is not entirely true. You're on a bit of a tangent here comparing a high volume low margin process that requires millions upon millions of equipment to a sign shop that does not produce 1 single product over and over...

It takes a special license and specific training so hiring a pilot is fairly simple IMO. They HAVE to know how to do the job and have thousands of hours of experience before they even get their license so there is no gray area and very little risk in hiring.
