So in order for this to work - and to support you for a LIVING (meager to start with) you might have to be working on 2 or 3 such projects... with 18 month build outs... and that's the hard part.

But if you start with ONE -- make a business out of it - do it right... have some luck - then next time you do TWO... get those done etc... then the following year you might be able to get a place on your own and do 3 investor projects plus a customer car... because once you showed off your skills with the investors cars - you might attract some CUSTOMER cars... Will this take some time? YEAH BUDDY -- but have a 5 year horizon... suffer some sleep deprivation -- have life get in the way... (bumps in the road) and maybe in 10 years you've achieved your dream.

The big deal is -- people never START on their dream - they just keep dreaming and the next thing you know - your 10 years have gone by and you've done ZIPPO... so quit dreaming and start WORKING toward that dream!!

By the way - this is all real easy for me to preach while I sit here in retirement... I don't have to actually do the suffering that will come with "my plan"... but I can try to inspire you.. and to get you to think in a way that perhaps you haven't before.

XOXO
Greg
