Default I just had to share the good news ( for me)
Man I am so happy right now.I just picked up another account for my business(just got the call).Word of mouth got me the contract.Im booked full now.I am finally making really, really good money.Less riding now which kinda sucks, but I will make the time.Fact is now I can save a lot more and just make paying bills ect.. a lot easier.Now Im gonna have to get a 29er and buy the kids new bikes.Money isn't everything, but when you can make it, it is a nice thing.I never thought in this stage of my life I would own a business that is successful.I guess hard work does pay off.

I may be looking to hire two people soon. As of right now I have to do some research on having employees, its all new to me.
Oh and the pay is 350$ per day, not by the hour.Most days are at least 6-8 hours depending on the number of cars in a sale.

Nice job I know how hard it is to land new deals in auto auction I worked for Dent-ology for 12 years doing rental and auctions every year is a battle. Good job and good luck.
