Once I had a several truck plumbing business but I was stupid and couldnt let the other trucks keep me going, so I kept working in my truck until my back gave in. Doc said to retire,I was ok had some good rentals other investments ,so I hung it up.After 3 yrs I couldnt stand it so I came back as very small 1 truck repair and drain cleaning business .Things are better than ever, I make time for grandaughter and fishing and riding my bike work a few days a week and take care of my back and family never been happier.Just turned 60 and have the carpel tunnel sugery and elbow sugery but not on my back until I am crawling Once or twice a yr I get put under and pain doc does some kind of block in my back and keep going,! slow down Dunbar I wish I had back in my 30s.

Steve, an entrepreneur is a person who uses businesses as springboards to create other businesses. But he doesn't do the work. All my life, I've actually gotten sick whenever I pushed myself.

And I have had a lot of problems, but they often correct themselves, or I do something to correct them. I had a lot of pain in my hands, for example, as if my thumbs were dislocated. But I've been noticing lately that they aren't really bad anymore. Right now, my worst pain is in the ligaments/tendons above my knees. I run up and down a lot of stairs and can't seem to remind myself that I no longer really NEED to take them two at a time.

It's not hard to strain my back. My throat rebels at the first hint of dust/fumes/smoke. But I'm doing pretty good. I don't push it - I take time off when I don't get it naturally for lack of calls. But then, I'm soon to be 62 and I really need to be able to keep going since I don't have something else to fall back on.

But I know better than to force myself to work when I have serious physical problems. Things start going really bad when you try working when you know you shouldn't - not only because you are not 100% mentally, but because you're doing more damage to yourself.

I'm really sorry to hear that you're doing poorly, but wish you'd take a little better care of yourself. If you don't, who will?

everything but neck eyes and back. Not work related but boy does work make the pain worse.

I'm an entrepreneur that's slowly dissolving the "hands on" as it's just becoming ignorant to do the physical side of these businesses. Plumbing biz started the park bench biz, misting fan biz, now there's 2 more waiting for the last two to reach year 4, then all of them can operate off each other's work relationships.

These other 2 businesses are 2.5 years old right now and they are becoming profitable this year. Next year *year 3* will be our time to shine.

It should be young kids, carnies doing the work but everything we do right now is critical, meaning it must "count" and be right, with no error.

We had a tremendous showing this past weekend, and this coming weekend puts us in another 2 events with all equipment.

Finding reliable help is hard in the carnie biz, really is. Very sporatic work and it's a hustle when the show is over.

I'm best served being an invisible component to this fan biz because it doesn't matter if it is 70 degrees...I'm always sweating...and it don't look right when I own a misting fan company.

I ran service calls all day, only thing bothering me (just from running copper) is my 2 index fingers on both hands.


My health issues started when I was a kid. Grew a foot in four years in high school and that's where all the muscular-skeletal issues came into play. Fas-grow like wood.

But it would be ignorant of me to think I won't be wheelchair bound someday...

Actually it'll be motorized so I don't think I'll be too surprised when it happens. Lithium batteries, 10 hours drive time? I'm in it for the sticker in the window for all that close parking. YES!!!

slow down dude. You don't want to be all washed up at 45.
what would be the point of having very profitable companies. If you are not worth a damn health-wise to enjoy the fruits of all the crap you went thru to get them there?
