See, i keep getting mixed opinions.. Some people say do it, some say dont.

First of all, i worked my ass off in college to graduate with honors and crap..

Second, if i learned anything, its do what makes you happy. If i sit in a cubicle making $30k/yr working for a boss ill be depressed.. Trust me i did it one summer as an intern and i was extremely depressed, my life felt meaningless.

For my computer repair business I wasn't going to open an actual store. I'll go fix computers in peoples homes, and if i cant fix it there ill take it and bring it back to my house..

Seriously i keep thinking about this: If i can make THE SAME amount fixing pcs than working for someone, ill do it anyday..

I enjoy fixing computers, heck i do it for friends & family all year long.. If i go to someones house and their pc is slow, I get into fixing mode and fix it for free...

So its either I am depressed, or do something I enjoy doing.. Thats why i was trying to fix a business model that brings in some kind of recurring revenue..

I dont want to make $5k one month, then $1k next month.. Feel me?

So if I cant sell a service plan, what else can i sell thats recurring?

As for the computer repair, my strategic advantage will be that I can come to your house ASAP and I will offer better prices than geeksquad et al, I looked at their prices and they want like $300 for something that takes 30min.lol
