It really is a pain. Lots of people think it will be great because they will not have a boss. In actuallity you trade off one boss for many bosses (ie your customers). Also most small business owners work much harder/longer days than they did having a normal 9-5 job as well as the average income of a small business owner in the US being $40,000 a year.
Keep your head up, hopefully it will get better.

My plan is to start this business to save up and buy a house, then start buying properties to fix up and sell or just lots of land that will be worth more in the future. I don't plan on detailing forever, just a stepping stone for larger projects.

I base my work on $40/hr, I won't be the cheapest out here...I want customers who can afford to pay, not the one's looking for a bargain.

It's not so bad. Initial investment tends to be a bit high but after that the benefits of working for self far outweigh working for someone else.

That's why I'm doing it, just starting up is the hardest, especially when you're not in a fixed location. Advertising become's the factor of success or failure...can't succed if no one knows about you. I have to consult an advertising company.
