you invest with a coach or mentor when you can easily stroke a check for it.. and if it does not work or you dont like the busienss you not in debt and its just water off a ducks back.   

@Stan McCune that is an awesome and well thought out response.That's why there are choices and options, "Different strokes for different folks"...without totally de-railing the thread I think its worth noting there is a line you are tip toeing there.

It's been a wild ride, especially losing both grandparents and husband having a stroke, but we are still here and going strong with clients from all over the county bringing their equipment to us for repair!

You'll usually find that longer strokes work better than shorter strokes.

But I realize that stroke will come in time.

Going the non-turnkey route involves more work (in theory, we're painting with broad strokes here) and MAY get you a better return overall, but comes at the costs of time/energy/money invested.Turn the key and let it be . . . so they say.Tis not for me and so I'll be . . . going the other way.

Obviously broad strokes of BRRRR remain relevant and thought process is valuable, but the fact those details don’t line up always irks me... 

By stroke of luck & good timing, L&I rolled out their eclipse permitting system right before the shutdown.

However this whole thing is really showing what is and isn’t important and how easily everything you work for can be zeroed out with a word or stroke of a pen.
