Anyone own their own business?

having a farm, sounds really great, and i hope it will turn out well for you two. :) I'm dreaming/planning on starting my own flowershop. My that had a horticultural centre (garden centre) and i loved to help him with it. But i love flowers more. i just want a small business with wich i can support my family and which i will enjoy doing while i can still study some things. I love learning and i have to find a way to combine this with something that i love to do and brings enough food on the table to life comfortable. And the fact that i like to do my own thing, is also a reason to become my own boss :) . But at the moment i'm still studying psychology at the university... In my spare time i'm looking up things to educate myself on the things you need to know before starting a business on your own.

I tried to start my own cleaning business. It barely took off of the ground. I had a very hard time drumming up and keeping business with people. Money was always and issue with them and they would drop the service. I charged very little but people could not afford to pay it. I had to eventually stop doing it and work here at home on my computer. I wish you all the best with yours though.

I don't own my own business yet, but some day I would really like to own my own busiess. My husbad has in the ast, but doesn't right now, as has my mother. Hubby and I are thinking of two things; either a small cafe or a publishing company for new authors just starting out.

We nearly starved our first year or two, but managed not to lose our house or our lives and now we are doing quite well. It's great to be able to spend some time on mylot when things are slow at the office without worrying that the boss will get after me! You have to work hard, stick with it, be patient with one another, work harder and stick with it!
