Done this job 26 years, 10 of them as a partnership.
The only good thing about it is it aint as lonely as working on your own. Build up your business over time, then your the boss and your calling the shots to the workers, I gaurantee you will fall out with not one of them, but both of them, then who gets the better work to walk away with??
Sorry its probably not want you want to hear, but when the glitter fades, youll thank me.
OK I,m off, keep smiling
