19. I'm thinking about starting my own messenger company. ..

1. Hermes:
"Go to messengers.org > "Going Indy". They have everything you need."

2. TONE:
"That's nice.... how much do you pay your messengers? How many clients do you have? How much is your overhead? Have you been a messenger yourself? As a good rider I will tell you straight up that I won't respect you as a boss much if you haven't been on the road... unless of course you let me do my "thing" to get whatever it is to wherever it has to go on time my way and pay me well to do it. You should realize just how many messenger companies there are and how much competition there is. Personally I think it's the quality of your riders that makes a difference, so how much do you really care about them versus the money? Also if you are thinking of starting one, you damn sure as hell should know something about the industry/business. Otherwise you will just fall flat on your face. Let me know if you are still around in a year or two. If you are any good I'll hear about it from other messengers though, otherwise you don't exist to me. "
