To go start new business or work for someone else?

Always have surprise visits. check the cars standing and check the list this way your manager will never know when you arrive

the receipt for a free wash is a great idea

plus get someone to work for you that's an advantage to the business and trustworthy not any one is thieves

You study in accounting so you'll be doing the books if sales drop then there is questions to be ask.

Never stop studying it is always something to fall back on if somethings don't work out

Where we live is a famous shopping mall with a car wash and I know of a few guys that made offers in the millions for it

Just remember a business does not survive on its own its people that make a business survive

Yea here is some gr8 ideas.

Maybe i could be possible that to electronically mobilize the equipment?
eg. Customer pays for service A, the receipt number is typed into a monitor/pad and the device allows only the programmed amount of water preprogrammed for service A.

Roelof, I agree with what your saying. We received business tuition from a guy also teach your theories (Robert Kyosaki, Trump, ect...) but there is some holes.

1. Employee - Finds jobs, works arse off for a few pennies (like me)

2. self-employed - works on own terms, but heavy frustration and market fluctuations may be a concern.

3. Investor - Great place to be, IF you have a considerable pool of capital to invest.

4. Business man (or venture capitalist) - Best place to be, but once again requires massive resources to implement.

Hence people turn to other strategies like MLM as an escape. Most people however, will never reach these levels, so Herbalife can relax.

Lastly, this is the only im considering taking this carwash. To use it as a vehicle to greater opportunities. Otherwise, will I ever be able to achieve "financial freedom" working as a clerk?

My advise Trans... Please check the financials of the business that you intend buying. Also ask for tax returns to be sure of what exactly is business making currently. We all know that financial statements can be cooked.
