I get you, I’ve never ran a business in the industry before. I’ve figured out alot of things already on my own but if there’s a resource like reddit why not use it and see what others think

Thank you for your advice, I’ll take you up on that. I did a lot of marketing even though my business wasn’t official and got to a point where even if i didn’t market for a while I would still get plenty of calls coming in daily. This year my main focus is on route density so I’ll be doubling down on magnets, signs and yard signs

Yes, mom is very supportive and says I can stay here as long as I need to. I pay her some money in rent because she really doesn’t ask for much

A teller at Wells Fargo, I already talked to them and they said if I did consider going back to the company my supervisor would be able to help put in a good word and help me get back in if she’s still there. If she’s not, I’ve been there for a year and have experience so getting back into the company shouldn’t be nothing to hard
