Tell me about it.....
LOW HANGING FRUIT.....I am helping out a good friend who is buying a established plumbing business out here on the island from the original owner who is TRYING to retire.
His problem is he has too many assets, no real heirs to take over the business/pass it on to, and all his holdings are pretty much beyond the reach of the average Joe.
Anyway...getting plumbers is next to impossible, good ones. I am trying to train some, but goodness, my
full time retirement is calling me louder and louder everyday....
My wife is pretty much in the same boat. She manages a medical\optical practice, has already informed them she is retiring in a year, but getting good employees, and training someone to take over her spot is next to impossible.
Of course our location is unique, and limits the work force a great deal....
But then again, we do not have the giant economic swings either....its always slow and steady. Of course we have lots of wealth who reside out here, second, summer/vacation homes, that plays a major part as well.
Well....unless Bernie confiscates it all
