Like Tim said, you really have to love it. As much as I love this business I even thought about throwing in the towel more than once. I had a direct lightning hit about a year ago. July 5th to be exact. Blew up 4K of gear. Replaced all with new and got hit again 2 weeks later for 2K. I make good money off the Wisp part of the business but I put in alot of hours as well. Im just dragging in 1:00am Monday morning. Some kids pulled my disconnect at an old beer brewery across town. You never know whats going to happen in this Business, Trust us.

I'll echo Tim's comments. Many people start into the industry after reading all the hype and think it's easy to throw up and AP and have customers flock to you. Reality is far different.

Yes, depending on where you live you can make it pay your bills but getting it to grow without outside help takes a lot of time and patience. Don't expect a get rich quick with this business.
