Help me make my dream reality!

Hi everyone! My name is Jeff, and I'm a Marine Corps Veteran returned the civilian life. I returned home and was not very sure what I wanted to do in life, or what direction I wanted to take it. I prayed and asked the good Lord for a direction. Since then I have discovered a huge passion for logging. I became totally driven and determined to start my own small company. For weeks I did nothing but research and make phone calls. I tried to work for a logger in my area but he simply didn't need the guys. One good thing about that is that he told me and showed me his operation. I saw what he did and how he did it. After making contacts and gaining mentors in other states I have been able to see the flaws in how he does business and how he leaves property. I know exactly what will set me apart from the competition and give me a great name. My goal is to start my own small logging company that will harvest timber for land owners on their private properties. I will provide a much better service to land owners and handle business on a very professional level. I will cut only a portion of the trees , leaving the smaller trees. This will open up the canopy for more sunlight, giving the smaller trees a more opportunity to grow and giving the land owner the ability to harvest his property again at a later time. All OSHA standards will be followed and all PPE will be used to ensure the safest execution of daily tasks. I have done all of the research, know how to write the contracts to give the land owner the fairest prices without any risk of them not getting their worth, have already made contacts for timber buyers to buy my product, know how to find land owners, and have researched all of the legal measures necessary to start and run this business. I want to run this business with integrity and professionalism to ensure the best quality service to land owners, best quality work environment for employees, and best quality product for the buyers. I'm not trying to wipe out forests or become a millionaire, I just want to do what I love for the rest of my life. Being in the woods all day, working hard, and working for myself is my dream. The part I'm hung up on is finding funding for the equipment, gear, insurance, and other start up costs necessary to get the ball rolling. The biggest hurdle I have is raising enough money for the machine used to drag the trees out of the woods after they are cut, and the bond needed to get my license. If you help me get the ball rolling and get this Veteran owned business started I would be eternally grateful. A portion of the company's profits will be donated to Wounded Warriors. Thank you all for reading and I hope we can do this! OORAH!
