Q's about going into pool business?

[BillyBumbler]

Thank you for the kind advice. That helps a lot considering how nervous I am about all of this. Been in the family business since graduating high school (dairy farm operation) and feel that I am just not happy with it anymore. This is a huge deal for me. Anyway, I have decided not to start this summer, I feel I am not ready, not armed with enough information to make a good name for myself. Cleaning and maintaining a pool seems simple enough after all I've learned here and on my new pool, but the first time someone calls me with a serious problem or a repair, I'll be in trouble. So I am going to find out where the local Ipssa guys meet and see who I can make friends with. I'll get all my ducks lined up (business license, DBA, etc. etc). I was thinking of taking the TECH courses offered by NSPI (good idea?). Go to the conventions you mentioned (Hope to see you there as well) and by early next season, if I'm not ready to make a good go of it I'll never be ready I guess. If anyone can think of any other suggestions for me, I'm all ears!

Thanks again.
