I have 2 businesses myself. Pizza restaurants. Bought an already established one 6 years ago. Put about 150K into it after spending 500 on it. Yeah it was a gamble to try and drum up more business. Well it worked. I advertised like crazy and hired great staff.
2 years after that one I saved enough to open a second location. At the time a lot of Hollywood Video stores were closing and found one in a perfect location. I took a huge gamble and opened another restaurant in a dead economy (2009). I took what I learned from the first one and made this one better. Found all of the school accounts, sports teams, etc. A year after I opened I was able to put the competition out of business.
I work my butt off and it is stressful but its worth it. Business ownership is not for the faint of heart. It takes someone who is willing to work MANY hours and try new things constantly until you find something that works. And remember.... your customers are your paycheck. Keep them happy and you will continue to get paid.
