as in like an Online Business, what type of Company would you consider wanting to be like, if any? Would you be a Writing company who pays others, or someone like Amway, Avon, Melaleuca, or would you focus on friendship and advertising or what? I know there are many here in this site who have Dreams of being Owners or CEO's online someday. Just wondering how much you have thought about it, and in all reality, do you think it will ever come True? Personally, I would Love to be a CEO of my own company someday. Just need more $$, or knowledge to get something going better for me online.

This would be a Great thing to want to do. How would you do this online, or would you do it just offline?

Owning an Auction company like Ebay that has become so Famous would be nice would it not. Especially if you could go from being Small to one of the Biggest Auction sites out there. Good choice.

If I was rich enough, I would like to start my own online art company as well as in person art store. I would not want to limit my business to just the internet or just to in store purchasing. Another option would be like Amazon.Com or Best Buy. I would like being like those websites as well. I like a combination of art and electronics so either would make me happy. Of course, we need the money to do that, which I do not have that much money. :-) Maybe I will have my own art business. :-)

Putting a business that interest you is better.At least, you know the pros and cons and also you have to be hands-on.Well I studied cosmetology and reflexology and graduating today.Maybe a spa salon would fit me at least I have a knowledge in running it.

I'd like to start a business in direct selling, like PC Mall or MacMall. Computers and Electronic Gadgets sell like pancakes, I should know I used to work for PC Mall. But I'd like to sell books, CDs, DVDs and other sources of entertainment.

If it was online, it would definitely be something a amazon-like company. I mean, you just can't go wrong with a company like that!!! It's your cyber-walmart. You will always find something there; is very convenient since you have almost everything you need in one webpage.

I appreciate your idea. I would focus on add, mail transfer and some archive work including friendship. I am building websites, classified add site and purchasing domain name, 120 GB space in Linux and Windows server to start a online income company and it need about US$3,500 including 2 PC as initial capital excluding office expense. I will purchase some work from online companies who give work against money. I found that free income from online cannot pay enough but if anyone buy any work from company, earning may be $150 each month with 3-4 hrs. work from each company. I found many company is fake, so it problem to find real company which I got and alrady paid $500 for registration. It is my homebased project, our target is to earn $150 from each assignment and this earning is enough in our country as a part-time earning from online.

nah it really doesnt require money to make a business and become a CEO of a successful company. What does it take you may very well ask? Brains and bravery - be risky, take out a loan for the money. I did it and it was the best move I ever made to financial freedom - good luck to you all. Start doing and stop talking, that is my advice to you!

If I was rich enough to start my own Company, I would start my own business like mylot so that friends could communicate more and get to know each others likes and dislikes but I would set it up a bit different to what we have here and friends would be able to have a separate section for contacting each other a lot more quicker. I do love mylot but I think that it certainly does need a bit more improvement.

I would love to start my own catering business. I do it a little on the side and find it very rewarding. Plus, it is a great excuse to buy new kitchen gadgets. I like thinking of new recipes, and testing them on my friends. I also like seeing people enjoy my food and helping my friends throw a really great party. I just need lots of start up money and good word of mouth. Unfortunately, I will be moving in a few months, so I'll have to start over in a new city. The good part is that there will be more fresh seafood there than I know what to do with! I'm already thinking of new clam/oyster/shrimp recipes. YUM!

I would open a bookstore that would also have a print on demand service that would sell the books in store also. Make that a bargain print on demand since they are so expensive.

My friend and I sell Mary Kay and it fueled my desire to own my own makeup line one day. I used to be a hair stylist and I always loved makeup. It would be cool to say I own my own business. I don't know if it will ever come true or not, but it keeps me motivated. I am a student with a children's writing course and it has me interested in being an editor one day. I would like to be able to offer my services to struggling writers because I know how it feels to not be able to get started.

Actually I'd probably start a video game production and development company. It would thrill my husband and I could be just a consultant letting someone else be the COO.

I would wish to start a business that would connect the people that need with the people that have and wish to share. A redistributing of money so that the economy would be much better for everyone. Would be a great thing to be known for. Thanks for bringing this up!!

If I were to start a business, I'll go for a company that sales souvenir. Since I like seeing people happy when they get their present. And I'm good at giving present, have a lot of idea in mind. It's doesn't have to expensive. It's does can come true, but I admit it's a long way for me to go. And of coz needs a lot of money. Few that's my great obstacle. Just have to double up my effort. peace :)

I would love to have my own company someday and the closest I have come to it is my blog which does earn me money. If I could have my own company it would have to be doing something that doesn't just make money, but something that helps other people. I'm not really into selling anything like Avon (been there, done that). Hopefully, one day I will be able to live my dream.
