NAICS: 323 Printing and Related Support Activities Description: wholesale flags |
| I decided to go into this business through a good friend of mine. He was actually in the business before me and wanted me to get into it also so we can work together. That time I was running a liquor store for about ten years so I figured why not give it a shot. I wanted to give it a shot because it was something new and after working ten years fourteen hours a day seven days a week it did not sound to bad. My initial goal was to just spend more time with my family for the most part. I did not really have time to do anything and keep up with my peers so it gave me an opportunity to get time on my side. |

NAICS: 812 Personal and Laundry Services Description: [name removed] Barber Shop |
| The reason I decided to get into this business was because of my family. Another reason was because I was not going to work for anybody else but myself. I realized that minimum wage was not going to cut it with a baby on the way and a family to raise. Another reason I decided to get into this business was because of the location, in the "ghetto" a barber shop is the best and easiest source of income I can make, in my opinion that is. My goal was to work for myself and to be able to make a decent amount of money where I would be able to support my family and I. |
