You can make it, it will just take a while to get it going. I have had my authority for about ten years and it took about 5 to really figure out things. Just remember, pay the drivers a little extra rather than squeezing every penny out of them, there are not too many folks out there that aren't greedy. O/O loyalty is important, they can make you or break you, trust me.

One of the best investments ( considered dollar remains strong) I made was lendingclub.com. Consistent, close to 9% ROI. The only downside I see with it not a great liquidity- 3 or 6 year long, though the interest and part of the invested money does come back to the linked account as soon as the next month. Maintenence free, invest and forget, minimal fee, love it.
