This is one thing that i am not good at. i feel that some people are really born with talent to earn well in business. every business that i had end up in disaster. so i end up my dream of starting a business. i am more focus in finding a real stable work than starting my own business. starting your own business is quite risky. and i am not that kind of person that wants to take risk a big amount of money in a business. i may risk some small amount in other ways. or even business. but usually not more than $100. but risking lot thousands of dollars like starting a business with very big capital. i don't see myself doing that. i just leave it to others to invest big money in t heir business. i think that i have different talent or skill. i feel that i can earn better just finding work and be like an employee or something. Though i admit it seems cool to start your own business and being your own boss. and i think that we are in time where people or most people now wants to starts their business and bet their own boss. cause they believe that starting your own business is the way to earn well in life. though i believe that but i feel that it is not for me and it is not in my character or in me to start a business and be a success in it.
So have you had any success in doing business.

Let me tell you this story that I read one time!
I was reading about George Washington, and about how great a President he was.
But it was saying that it wasn't that George Washington was that smart, it was that George knew or could tell who was intelligent, and he surrounded himself with people that were smart, intelligent, and knowledgeable! And thus he got a lot of important things done because of this strategy that was his!
So there you go, there is the ball, now you can take it and run, and see if you can make a score knowing this information!

that is very true that if we surround ourselves with intelligent people that they will influence us also. that we will learn from them and get to appreciate their way of life and their goals and strategies in earning in life. and we will appreciate how to be more disciplined and how to do business. i like to be serious in life like i want to plan how i will earn online and plan for my future.

No, I am not good at business. Sad as I am to admit it, I have tried to succeed quite a few times but have never succeeded. Though there was not much investment involved, yet the setback was hard to take.
Another point is that I am not good at convincing people or selling stuff. I cant really approach total strangers and start talking to them for my own gain...they fear of rebuff is too much for me.
Like you, I am a better employee than employer

I like to have a business of my own because I felt that I was born with it. I tried several business but its the pressure & stress that I was not able to handle but now tha I stop from it & still gathering funds to start again I already knew what business to pursue that has a very good ROI than expected. I am just looking for the right location.
