As someone who’s had multiple failed companies you have to learn how the rich people do things and protect your personal assets from your business ones (& even your business from your business ones). Once you’ve got better advice from a lawyer then maybe try it again, especially construction, unless it’s now a wellness reason. Your business should be able to absorb a lawsuit and reform under a new s-corp with most of your assets intact. It’s super hard work pulling yourself out of the pit and starting over again but the extra income is worth it. You could try moonlighting for a while until your expenses get balanced.

Remember you are not a failure, you are still trying everyday, and you have seen the method to your success before. It takes a real motivated and hardworking person to make a business grow and you’ve proven you could do it once. Work towards that financial independence again, take it slow and keep yourself free of the liabilities this time.

I have nothing fictional, just a recommendation for an excellent podcast about it called “Empire”

I worked for an industrial auction company where I had to cold call plants that were being closed down or going bankrupt. These guys received dozens of calls a day from people like us while they were dealing with losing their jobs. Trying to buy all the equipment and profit on their ill fortune.

The goal was to be the first to call them before any of the other places. So once I had to break the news to the plant manager they were getting shut down. Sometimes the information was bad and nothing was happening to their plant but they still got tons of calls from vultures looking to pick their bones. It was a shameful job and all for just $32k a year. The owner had 2 rolls Royce phantoms and a private jet.

It’s nice he shows up to work already dressed as a clown.

You are going to need a very big trebuchet, possibly the biggest ever. Watch out for fanatics.

The text is phishing and not an actual poll like people have suggested.

I did have an actual pollster come to my door the other day. I forget the organization but it was a political pollster and not a neutral one. Parties do their own polling too. Never asked my name or personal contact info. Just basic demographics: age, salary, children, etc. Then it was just who am I voting for in the different races, what I thought about their policy (favorable/unfavorable).

Then the last question was what was my most important issue for this election. 20 years ago I would have said net neutrality or the war in Iraq. In my older age I am more concerned with services for lower income people. You used to be able to fail and still find work and catch up. Now it just takes losing a job at the wrong time or an injury and you can easily become homeless. There is not the buffer their used to be, finding a temporary room rental for $300/no or less doesn’t exist. So I told them “increase funding for low income services” and that guy looked confused and had to type it in. I would guess almost everyone is answering inflation, war, or border crossings. I was just thinking of something that could do a lot of good tomorrow with less money than the wealth of our richest person.

True neckbeards are born with it. It’s only the posers that get theirs by injecting PFAS into their balls.

I like the pizzas that have the little pepperoni slices that become cups for the grease so you have something to drink while you’re eating it. Chef’s kiss

That’s why I got mine removed. I’m far more flexible these days.

It was worse in the 80s. Everyone wanted to follow up Mañana. Who is this Mañana?
