Please tell me you're ing us...



But, assuming you're not...

So you don't deal with any sort of expenses right now? You don't have to save money every pay cheque for rent/mortgage, car insurance/fuel/repair bills, phone/hydro/cable/etc bills? Provided you do take over your dad's job, what experience will you bring into it? How will you make sure that your employees aren't taking financial advantage? How will you balance the books if you have a slow year? How will you budget for future upgrades and repairs? And suppose the business goes bust? What will you do then? Or, when you take over, will you merely be a figurehead CEO/owner and hope that everyone else who works for the company knows what they're doing? Running a small business requires you to know what the fuck you're doing. And judging from your posts, you don't. Family or not, father or not, you're not going to be given the reigns of a business without knowledge and experience...
