Failing at Business

One thing that I regret is that Eaglegate LLC is not more successful.  When me and my dad set up the company in 2010, he gave it all to me, which I did not agree with at all.  It was his idea, his designs, but I had one hundred percent responsibility for it.  And I never had total control of how the company was run. The first year we did really well.  2011 was a good year.  2012 produced about the same sells as 2011, and 2013 has been a mess, and we will be $10,000 under what we made in 2010. My dad has always controlled the directs of this business, where my ideas were very different, and did not count.  In 2010 we start selling wheels as part of the business.  The wheels made up a third of the total sells for the company.  I loved selling the wheels, because it gave us another big ticket product to sell and that we were not just limited to the Triumphs on this one.  But when we went back to by more wheels for the company the next year, they had changed there price structure, and

Well, I am still in my house until January 13.  Still do not know where I am going.  Christmas is tomorrow, and I have never felt more alone than this year.  My have to go to Utah the first of January for a court case, but do not know yet.  It has been somewhat a disappointing year, and I do hope that things get better.  Merry Christmas and hope all have a Happy New Year.

Missing out on a pay check.

I found out last night that I could have had a Job that pays $70,000 a year and I really did not know about it. You ask, how do you not know about something like that.  Well it is a long story. About 2 years ago, I was at my dad's house working on some stuff for the business that we have and Bert, his then girlfriend, came in and said that she had a job lead.  Gave me a number and a name, and that was it.  At the time I was not really looking for a job.  I was working on the business that I had with my father. So I never followed up on the lead and she never ask me about it. My dad has always looked at our business as a hobby.  I have always looked at it as a business that has room to grow.  We even have a business license and tax numbers.  My dad put the company in my name, but from day one it has been his baby.  I can give him Ideas about suppliers and the direction of the company, but it is up to him to listen.  You can guess what happens most of the time. Also when ever

How things have changed in just 24 hours.

I can not believe how things have changed in just the last 24 hours.  I thought I was going to save my house from the auction block, but that is not going to happen.  The money has fallen through and I have to be out by Monday.  I have really tried to do everything I could to save it, but things just did not work out.  I am thankful for the friends that have stood by me and the prayers that have been sent my way. But I really have gone through a lot of stuff the past few years and I have dug my self into a pit I can not get out of.  I do not know if this my last blog or not. But thanks to everyone.

Update as of Dec 12

Well I still have no Internet.  I am being forced to move, because we are selling the house, which I am not happy about.  I am at the library using there computer, which sucks.  I am still looking for a job, which also sucks.  And my divorce, looks like it will be final in January.  I just hope things get better soon.
