It wasn't easy at the start. Those were some of the most stressful days of my life. But no regrets here!

I’m finding the constant breakdowns and my inability to find a decent driver taking a toll on me. I have considered selling the business and working for a company, but I know I will regret that move. Sucks.

I am actually planning to start this year with my best friend. We are still in the planning stage. I am here to get insights and tips from other owners.

Yes. I started too soon without proper preparation. The business is not doing well.

Welcoming any feed back on my resume. I have been applying to supply chain roles (primarily planning and procurement) since May and have not received any interviews. Would love to hear any recommendations on what is missing and/or what kind of roles I should steer toward based on my experience. Thanks and happy holidays!
