Central Refrigerated- Am I Getting Told Wrong?

I'm sure I can always find another company seat if it doesnt work out.

Absolutely.

Well you know the battle you're in for and you know that it really isn't a battle you have to fight. It's sort of all risk and no reward other than the challenge of it. So stick it out as long as you're hanging in there and you want to keep at it. But personally, I would have a very quick trigger finger. If things started going in the wrong direction financially I'd bail quickly and go back to company driving. That's a life-changing mistake that people make sometimes. They latch onto an idea, convince themselves it will work, and ride it faithfully to the bottom of the ocean.

Success in business is a funny thing because on the one hand it takes incredible resolve, dedication, and perseverance to succeed at a high level no matter what the industry. But at the same time you have to recognize when an idea isn't going to work and it's time to get the h*ll out. Knowing "when to hold em and when to fold em" is always a super tough call and it's hard not to let the ego get in the way. Nobody likes to admit an idea they had isn't going to work and nobody likes to bail on something after putting time, money, and effort into it. But we're all human and we all have had a lot of ideas that didn't work. The question is what did it take to figure out that something wasn't going to work? Did you have to lose everything and hit rock bottom before it finally hit you or were you able to dip your toe in the water, see that it wasn't where you wanted to go, and get out virtually unscathed?

Unlike the natural world, in the business world you can quickly and effortlessly dig a gigantic hole that may take a decade or more to fill back in. And that one catastrophic idea can mean ten or more years of hard work just to wind up back where you started financially. Nobody hopes for that!!!!

So go for it! Hopefully in the end you'll be able to share a bunch of information about leasing that will help people make informed decisions for themselves in the future. That's the beauty of having a website like this....one person can learn something and put it in writing for the rest of the world to learn from forever forward. That should save a significant number of people from having to learn lessons the hard way.
