Sounds like your headed in the right direction. I always wanted to be my own boss. Run my own business. Sounds like your actually doing that. Sure starting something like that up takes a lot of time, but eventually you will have some time back for other things you love to do. Looks like you have your eye on the prize too, just in a different way. It's awesome that you are actually doing something you love, it makes you money, and the big bonus is its payed for. So you put your project aside for awhile. You still have it, and it will be able to get back to it eventually.

Thanks! What I have going for me is a good work ethic and patience. Also a lot of experience in the field of recording, both as an engineer but also being a musician for over 30 years. But it's a tought field of work. There are no guarantees. I never was wealthy though, so if I can make ends meet for me, my girlfriend and our cats I'm a happy camper.

Life is funny when you get old as me and look back. $ was never the most important thing in life for me. I have worked jobs, I have worked for myself doing something I WANTED to do not because it made me a lot of $. but DOING what I wanted and because it was who I was and was meant to be,so I retired poor far as $ goes but NO regrets. Smarter and more hndgry people work all their lives for others or for themselves and retire with many $$$$$$$$$!/

I hear you loud and clear. I have been lucky because my regular job has been one that I actually enjoy and feel is of value. The pay is low though, but I can live with that because I like doing it. My goal is to be able to make a living and being self employed working in my studio in the future. I just need enough to get by and I would be very happy doing that.

I know when I was 1/2 way thru my Willy’s restoration, I hit burn out on the project.
I told myself at least go up to the garage and do one thing, even if it was as small as sandblast a bolt.
Something done, no matter how small is how projects get finished.
My Duster is 99% done, I only drove it once this year to a car show. Just no time, working on too many other projects. Never even drove the Willy’s this year.

That is really good advice. Even if it's a small thing, it's a start and progress towards finishing the project! Thanks!
