There's gotta be a ton of profit in running a bar, especially since you can hide so much of the $$.
I think alot of the reason for my posting this thread is because sometimes when I tell a person that I'm interested in opening my own business I get this..."Oh man you need sooooo much money" "oh it's sooooo much work"
I think it probobly will be alot of work, starting out, but get much easier. I think these people are basically talking out of there ass....they have no real clue. I want to prove them wrong.
So I was wondering what the real scoop was and looking for advice.

Depends on the type of Adjusting you want to do.
Do research.
I have ---->years<---- of experience in ans around the "car" business.
I've sold, repaired (mech and collision),repo'ed ( had stack in a "Notes Lot").
I got the experience.
Marketed myself. I had to do this because I found I was not hireable in the new state I was moving to, because of over-qualification. So I did research and marketing for about 4 months, and started doing for myself what I was doing for others.
I've been open one year. I handle 5 states. (34k miles this year on the SI)
I do work for about all of the European high end Manufactures.
I do work for Scion.
I do classic car stuff for Hagerty.
Finance companies.
Man the list goes on and is growing.
Is it easy?
NOPE!
Long hours.
Pay well?
Doubled my income.
Looking to triple it this next year.
I really answer to no one, If I screw up it's all mine.
I can't blame anything on anyone.
Look, I could type here for days. If you can't see yourself doing what ever for the rest of your life,change it.
