Jim Reams, the owner of Mothership BBQ has posted several "status of his company" posts to the Mothership BBQ Blog this week concerning the future of his restaurant.
I admire Jim for being able to honestly look at his situation and make the decisions he’s made. He wrote in one of his posts, "I haven't been paid in a very, very long time. Try to imagine working 70 hours a week, never getting any time off, hardly ever seeing your kid, and not getting paid."
When I owned my logistics company, I learned what it is like to put your heart and soul into a business, work 70 to 80 hours a week, and not get paid. The last two years my company was open I used to joke that I owned a nonprofit organization. I guess I was fortunate to have been single at the time and not had to deal with not seeing my kid (Jim has a really nice and cute daughter).
I hope Jim finds investors and is able to continuing his dream. I like to see people succeed.
