Basically, I took a gap year after graduating high school so that I could work on my Detailing business. I was able to grow it exponentially. I started with $500, and have been making around 10-11k a month revenue with 70% profit margins.
My business is mobile, meaning i need good climate to do the work. However, I live in Canada, so it’s only warm for 6months out of the year. The 6months of winter are perfectly aligned with when college starts. So I was originally thinking that I’ll work on the business for half the year, and study for the other half. (Taking bachelor of business administration)
However now that school started, I am only able to think about my business. I had such great momentum going, and now I’ll need to take a 6 month break. I have been skipping most of my classes, and I’m behind on assignments. I can’t imagine doing 4 years of this. I have so many ideas on expanding my business further, all I need is the time.
My alternative is to rent/lease a detailing garage, which would enable me the business to be open year round, instead of just half the year. I think it would be much more worth it than spending $5k a semester to study.
I have never been the school type. At 12 I made a yt channel with my brother making $16k. At 15 I had a woodworking business making $50 an hour. Even with the skipping school and never studying, I managed to get through high school with a 75 average.
What do I do? I’m stuck at a crossroads and I would love to hear some advice. Do I continue working half a year for the next 4 years? Or do I dropout and go all in on the business?
