Advertising costs are unknow, didnt think about that...

Although the economy is down, this is a good time to get the ball rolling now. If you can start a business now and keep afloat, you'll be a winner when things turn around. Most see today as negative, but many will make their fortunes starting this kind of climate.

Maxing at 3K a month is not a lot of revenue. I suppose they weren't so hungry and you'll have to be. I think when it's your own, one goes above and beyond to make things work.

The travel sounds like a kicker to me, but I don't know the work realities of your locale. Better look into that Honda Insight or Toyota Prius, lol...

In his area, having visited it, although quite beautiful, I am sure can add some more windshield time when winter comes around with the ice/snow.
I spent many years driving well over an hour one way. While it was painful, it was a way of making a living so I sucked it up.
Funny thing is for about 5 yrs, I drove 12 miles. All highway. Would take me almost an hour on some days due to congestion in the NYC area.
For a while, I drove from NJ to Brooklyn, for a total of 25 miles, which took an hour and a half and at that time, cost me $11 per day.

I guess you do what you have to but certainly something to consider very strongly in the overall package.

Ya, On the worse day, it adds about 20 minutes to that drive. Ive done it and plowed through 12 inches of snow to do it. Thats one of the Heviest Weights as to why not to do it, but at the same time, The book would be handed to me free. at no cost(well expenses would be incured but you know what I mean) and Honestly Thats huge.

Gah, Why cant this be an easy, yup ill take it situation?
