Like the Title says Anyone here Own or Run their Own Company or Family Buissness?

My faimly has Owned and Run our Roofing company since 1894. I was just wondering if anyone else has their own buisness. I like meeting people that own their own company and take pride in there work!

I only work for the Faimly Buisness on weekends now but Im still a part of it and my Brother still runs it and my Mother is the Owner/Secretary - (Owner since my father passed away but, my brother will take over ownership soon)

My Mom owns a truck accessory store, she took it over in the late 1980's after my Grandpa. She has the same farmers coming back every couple years because she is honest and doesn't sell junk like some of the other places in town.

I worked there when I was going to college and love being able to have access to a lift lol.

My Brother and I own and operate a 3,000 acre irrigated farm in Central Wisconsin. 4 more full time employees. It certainly keeps us off the streets. The most interesting part of owning a family business is listening to politicians tell you how the bills they are sponsoring are going to help you. Talk about being clueless!!!!!!

I've had my own business of one kind or another since 1989. My current company (optical fiber sales) is 6 years old and I'll probably stick with it for a while. I've had a computer networking company, a software development/internet application company, and a guitar amplifier company. Having your own company is great but can be a real burden. Balance is always the key!

We have two businesses, my office and a gymnastics gym. I is a little tedious at times because I work my office and then head to the gym to take care and put together gym equipment. Do not get home b4 9 pm most nights.

I am a contractor, i also own a self storage facility, i am working on purchasing / partnering with two different rental franchises that go hand in hand with self storage. I have plans for a solar farm but i don't know that it is going anywhere fast. I am partners in a real estate firm that owns and leases student housing at local colleges. 2010 has been a year of new investment...and freakin killed my golf game.

politicians never help you...even if they have good intentions they will mess it up by the time it is done. That is almost as sure as the sun coming up!!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
