Hey Mark,
Sounds like you have the right attitude to make a strong business. Work is important but try to make some time for yourself and family. What you are talking sounds like it could burn you out prematurely. Having said that, I think it is a good idea to work another job while getting into this business from scratch.
As for myself, I started Clean Zone back in 95 as a carpet cleaning company. I did "jump right in" up to my neck. Bought all the tools TM,Van, etc..Along with a mountain of debt that made it extremely hard to ride out the slow times for my new business. If I could do it all over I would probably stay on a job and work into full time.
The transition to T&G was not much of a struggle. I had the reputation of a business that has done well for almost 10 years and a built in client base. But after a short time of shifting my focus and seeing the potential of t&g I have charged full steam ahead.
Good luck Mark-
Cary
