$130,000 in sales tax.

And because I'm doing well at the time, right?

My bank account is up, you know what I'm saying?

I got 300 just from sales, so cool, I'm making a lot of money.

But then I'm like, oh damn, I didn't even realize this.

And I got penalties now, right?

So I tried to get the penalties waived and they said, no, you have to pay the full amount before you get any penalty waived.

So I had to send $130,000 out the door.

It's like an 8% margin business.

You know what I mean?

So imagine just sending $130,000 out.

I'm like, damn.

You know what I mean?

So these are the mistakes that a first-time business owner makes, right?

The mistakes that, you know, and mind you, I own the business 100%.

So it's not like I have partners in this that are like, you know, we could tackle different things.

You know what I mean?

So obviously it's best to have partners because you could go farther faster because you can tackle this part of the business, I can tackle this part of the business, but we can have all areas covered.

Right now I'm kind of driving with just like,

this type of vision and I do hire consultants, you know, I have hired consultants to help me open up my vision and a general manager to help me, you know, because things slip through the cracks like that, you know?
