JFLS,
It is not you, and what you wrote, is something a lot of us have experienced, starting a business from scratch is very difficult, and only a small number make a go of it, the area your in, the economy, the population all have an impact on sucess of a business.
We have between 8 to 12 new contractors a year start up new businesses in our area, all with the intention of making a go of it, and they are by most all excellant electricians, by years end there may be 2 or 3 of them still in business.
If i had to do it over again, i would find an existing business, with real profit on the books, and accounts with long term contracts, and invest in a going business.
On the yellow book ad's, it took almost 2 years before we started getting any good amount of calls from it.
