[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 72827, member: 67"] Re: What sub should I get? There you go, making sense... 8O~8-O~:shock: We have a couple of sayings that developed since the late 1990's... "The wrong piece of gear at the 'right' price is still the wrong piece of gear" and "Buy once, cry once." They are related. I'll add a bit of business wisdom: 1: There is no such thing as a 'lateral move;' any movement that is not "business-forward" is moving backwards. 2: Excess capacity is infinitely expensive. 3: The income you make as owner is NOT the same as wages for performing managerial or technical work; all of those represent value and the costs of that value should be reflected in your pricing. 4: take a class in cost accounting, it will be an eye-opener. Not sure what is available in AU, but here in the US the Small Business Administration has SCORE, Service Corps of Retired Executives. SCORE offers on-line and in person training and consultation to small business owners and prospective owners, and most of it is free or very reasonably priced. Hopefully there is something like it down your way. I'll close with something I've posted several times: I've been in this industry for around 35 years. I figured out how to make sound, reliably, about 30 years ago. I figured out how to make _good_ sound, reliably and safely, over the next 15 years (and I'm still learning). But making a profit and return on investment for my boss while making good sound is something that took much longer and remains a work in progress. Have fun, good luck. Tim Mc [/QUOTE]
