as for me, i have plans of starting my own business. it allows one to do things at one's convinience and also lets you have time for yourself. it also gives you time to get as much money as you can

It's great that you want to start your own business, but don't let yourself be fooled into thinking you will have all kinds of free time! Starting a business requires even more hours than a regular job. Of course, you can set your own schedule and take time off when you really need to, but it takes a lot of work and determination to build a successful business. Most of the money you make will be sunk back into the business as it gets off the ground, also.

Starting a business can take quite a lot of time. But running a business can easily be done in a matter of minutes. Owning your own business puts you in charge. What you need to do is work the math. If you wanna run a restaurant, you won't get free time "saving" your money working a full shift every week on top of doing accounting, orders, etc. Outsource, outsource and outsource. There are many ways to being an entrepreneur and having a business. 38% of Americans run a home-business. I've never liked that term. Although I don't have a office, I don't work at home, and I have literally zero overhead. So work smart.

I wanted to start my own business as well, but I don't have the idea what to do yet and what to sell. I had my own convenience store before but I abandoned it since I was thinking that working abroad might earn more and I could save enough to stop working and establish my own business. Until now I am trying to find out what would be the best business or a business that would guarantee a profit. What business are you establishing now?
