Something happened that I never thought I'd do. At least not for another decade.
I sold my business.
I started Lane 17 Cabinet Co. in a 1-car garage nearly 10 years ago. I only did $5,000 in the first 3 months of business.
(Thanks Mom for letting me live at home at 24 yrs old.)
Fast forward to today and we were on track to end 2025 at $2M.
I feel like I gained 20 years of life and business experience in half the time by intentionally placing myself in the trenches to learn and absorb everything I could.
I'd say mission accomplished on that front.
While it came with plenty of sleepless nights, I am grateful I chose such a complicated business to scale.
It forced me to learn about people, culture, systems, Lean, and continuous improvement. Most importantly, how to problem solve complex issues.
I went in as a wide-eyed 24 yr old kid and left a 33 yr old business owner that successfully got an idea off the ground, scaled it, and sold to somebody else to take the reins.
I feel fully equipped for the next chapter and hungrier than ever. 👊

@rajatsoni Nah, That’s a trap.
Hold bitcoin if you want. But if that’s all they remember - you blew it. Give your family a better story than that.

@BLSmith2112 I thought for sure this was going to end with them saying no to the $20.

@PolyAddition @Babygravy9 I’m no legal expert, but yes? It appears it was and can be enforced in specific circumstances.

@peteyboardman @Babygravy9 Yes but I mean can a curfew be enforced in the same way as in the video if the person recording is standing on THEIR property? Or is the person recording within their right to be outside because they’re on their property?
English

@brigtaylor @Babygravy9 Different issue/story. Unrelated to the video.

@PolyAddition @Babygravy9 I believe Curfews were in effect due to riots

@peteyboardman @Babygravy9 Can I ask you a genuine question: isn’t it illegal for the police to force you into your home while you’re on YOUR property? Or is there like an overriding rule that the government can enforce?

@peteyboardman trying to figure out which one to work on will tear you apart
