Hi Mark, thank you for your inspirational series. I love the idea of intigrated thinking. Thanks for inviting me in to the Society. I am 61 years old and a mechanical engineer.Worked in power plants from 1967 to 1991. Since 1991 I have been in business (construction trucking.My Dad operated this type of business. As a boy I learnned to repair,drive heavy equipment and manage the business ). However, for the past 2 1/2 years business has been going down hill due to the economy going south. I had to sell most of my equipment and lay off employees because of this. I have one dump truck still in service which is 23 years old and i operate this truck whenever work is available. I would like to pay the fees for the website but cannot afford it at the moment seeing that its an uphill battle to pay my mortgage. Now my question to you is how do I expand my business which needs newer equipment so that I can be compeditive with other contractors? This needs alot of capital which I dont have and for the past 2 months i cannot find the answer to this problem.I am starting to think that winning the lotto may be the answer, but then I keep thinking about the odds.
