studcj Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 361)	posted March 20, 2000 04:58 PM Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go. My father made a similar move earlier this year. It didn't work out though. Now he has experience and he knows what he did wrong. Next time will be better. He is happy that he atleast tried it or else he would regret it for the rest of his life. Now he is getting into another deal which seems to be promising. Don't be scared of failure, keep ypur eyes on your goals and nothing else. Good Luck ------------------ "I can, because Im crazzy!"

Sittin' On Diesel Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 102)	posted March 20, 2000 05:24 PM E2- that takes a lot of balls, and you gotta follow your instinct. I hope you're successful, and while you're at it... make it a HARDCORE ASS GYM!! Some things that would make it cool: * Go easy on the mirrors * Lots of open space * Bad ass sound system * Bars on the windows (would be a nice touch) * Concrete floor * Warm enough to make all the motherfuckers sweat, even the dudes going to fountains every 5 minutes Heh- hook it up!!! Good luck man [This message has been edited by Sittin' On Diesel (edited March 20, 2000).] IP: Logged

dude Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 39)	posted March 20, 2000 06:27 PM That sounds good and you should be nervous but it is okay. The reason most people never succeed is because they don't take risks. And keep your dream strong even if it doesn't work out in the beginning. You have to remember that most businesses lose money their first couple of years when they start. I know it does not sound good but you probably already know this stuff. Good luck bro! IP: Logged

Bro- i bought my own business last year- i was a nervous scared mofo, but i knew what i was doing was right. The first few weeks the resposibilities made me feel like i was nursing a hangover, but that subsided as the sense of full and complete independance, not to mention the numbers, sunk in. Youll only wish you could have done so sooner! IP: Logged
