Thank you for your reply. You are one of the few who addressed my questions\concerns without judging.
I desinged a spread sheet when we first stared but I will change it to reflect day and night time expenses\sales.
As far as my partner being burned out, he was and took an eight day vacation and was refreshed. He leaves to see his son’s football games and comes in late on Saturdays, off on Sundays. He is probably at the shop about 55 hours per week. It was closer to 70 a few month ago but that was too much for him or for anybody else, for that matter.
Beleive me I have tried to have talks with him and my suggestions (many of which I got on this think tank I been reading the posts for 6 months now, but just joined recently) goes in one ear and out the other. If I had a penny for everytime he told me “you just don’t understand,” we would not have to worry about money. What frustrates me the most, is that the business has been treading water since we took over; and he is doing nothing to make it better. When I make suggestions about how the could operate better, how to market nothing happens. (I set up a web site, installed telephone system and fax machine to help). Hey Mike did you call that customer the other day that ordered the 12 pizzas to see how everything was? Oh no I forgot. Did you enter the emails off of the business cards of the folks that have put their card in the fish bowl, that I set up for a monthly gift certificate drawing. No I, i don’t know how to do it. Very little of what I suggest gets accomplished, and I just don’t have time to do it myself. We continually throw out Roast Beef because it goes bad, therefore, I suggested that he has a Roast Beef special sandwich so we use it before it goes bad. The special board sits in his office and collects dust. I wish he would handle business insted of taking 2 hour naps in the afternoon. Anything he asks me to do I do. I want to help him as much as I can but I didn’t sign up to have two full time jobs.
I’m tired of whining on this post; I assure you and everyone else it is not my intent. I am at my wits end with this entire situation and should have listened to our mutual friends and said NO!!! Thanks Again Jack
