Now you have to work 10 and 12 hours a day to watch over your investment and make sure your not getting robbed blind by your employees.

Years ago someone I know noticed that a Subway sandwich shop right off base was always packed. He got out of the Marines and bought that sandwich shop. Me, I got out of the Marines and... Worked for a Subway sandwich shop. See the difference? Both of us at the same place in life, I got a job and he created a business for himself.
