One thing that always helps is to have more than one source of income, whether it be a rental, or just another facet of your business. Did you do any repairs? Car detailing? Oil change?
When I'm not busy selling washers during tax time, I'm busy doing in home service, and taking care of the rentals.
If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

I did not attempt to downplay Tylers situation, I feel for you Tyler. However I do not like the notion that any successful businessman is a crook. Maybe that is not what you meant, but I read it that way.
My father is in the car business, and I am in a different industry, but play with cars on the side. In the car business and in manufacturing I like to think we deliver a quality product and good customer service, and we have lots of repeat customers.
I do not know any business that is "easy" to run. If you're doing something you love and enjoy it can take the sharp edges off of the rough days, but work is hard.
