Starting your own business

A pleasant day Porcospino, It was six months ago when I have decided to have a career redirection. I have decided to put a small catering business together with my sister as the Chef. But as time goes by so many situations arises. Situations that turn to be a hindrance. Situation that leads me to the negative side of the fence. Situation that push me to my limit and lead me not to proceed with it anymore. As a result, I did not go and proceed with it. Until I found myself in this category of business, being an Internet Marketer. Hence, I found satisfaction here. My knowledge and enthusiasm was developed. So I have diverted my time and effort being faced on the net. Aside from that, I have pursue my interest in Entrepreneurial. Although I did not succeed with the small catering business, I have pursue doing and selling non-food business. And I am happy doing this job. Plus adding the fact that I can do a freelance job, I can still pay attention to other work that I should do as an Entrepreneur. Thus, in this field, it is your passion counts.

Hi Porcospino The idea of having a business is quite lucrative and tempting for many. Even I was lured to start off one day, but then I realized that I am better off as a Freelance worker or even a paid worker. I am a Computer Professional and have spent the past 17 years of my career as a Trainer (teacher) and today I work as a Website Programmer. Obviously, if I have to think any day to have a business, this will be the only thing that I think I will be comfortable with as this is not quite a natural thing with me today. I tried to start a business related to handicraft items (specially created by the differently abled people) sometime in 1999. But as I had not much idea on how to go about it, it flopped. There was a little loss too but that made me realize that I am not made for Business - doesnt come naturally to me. I will have to spend a lot of time studying, researching and also maybe have to learn accounts, management etc. and I am worst when it comes to these. So if at all I have to have a business, it will be online, something related to websites and related things.

I would open up a boarding kennel. I know a thing or 2 about it (I better, I work in one! LOL) so I feel it would be a good business venture for me. Plus, I love working with animals so I might as well make a living out of it. Happy mylotting!

My passion has always been computer and Internet, that's why I choose to open a cybercafe. It is small for now. I only have 4 PCs, one photocopy machine and a printer. I plan to apply for a loan to purchase more PCs and build my own shop instead of renting. I also plan on offering more services like designing wedding cards or invitation and computer class in the near future.

Dear friend, even if the job online, now is the future of the trades, I am still far away to start an online businnes. First, I do not have a real job, I'm pretty good with the computer (Windows only, absolutely inexperienced with Mac) and I can do some small job as an electrician. However you never know, maybe one day I could sell on the net !

You are exactly talking about my dream...i really want to have a business pf my own.I am a creative person in all. I do painting, I have learned stitching, beautician, i love cooking so after taking into consideration i ended up with opening an eating joint which will be specialising in one particular cuisine.Lets see its still a dream..when i am able to achieve it..even i am able too or not.

Those two businesses are great. If given the capital and time, I would invest in ready to wear business. Because this is really good nowadays. People go to shops and whenever they see a nice dress, they automatically buy it. I guess every business varies in every location.

I also want to open a bussiness. A friend had a briliant idea and now we want to prototype it and sell it. If we succeed, the electricity supplyind will change:D But for this, we need money and a few scientists. PS: Sorry for my english:)

I've been thinking to have my own business too. But I want to have a business wherein I feel I am going to enjoy with it. I plan to open just a simple food chain, a boutique. How I wish that I can start it while I'm still young.
