job and a small business

If I will pass the medical exam on the company that wants to hire me, I'll be starting next week. It pays a little only, but its okay because I am a fresh graduate and this will be my first job. A working experience for me, even though it may last for months only because it is contractual. Before this, I really want to set up a small business. I've mentioned it here before. Do you think I should still continue the business? It's an online business and I will be making the things I will sell like bracelets and other stuffs. If you were in my shoes, will you still continue with the business?

I like your spirit. When you are young yor are always likely to have lofty ideals and ambitions, nothing wrong with that, but the point is that apart from being idealistic, ambitious, you also need to be practical. Are you able to earn considerable amount with your part time online business, which can almost substitute your regular income. If you can work after your workign hours it is fine. Otherwise, it is difficult to maintain balance between your office work and online business. I would suggest you to plan for next five to ten years. So that sometime in the future you would be able to set up your own business. At the same time, I would suggest you continue to indulge in your online business. All the best.

Of course you'll pass the medical exam, you're as good as hired! Congratulations!!!! As to your small business, that should be all up to you, depending on the resources (time and energy) that you have outside of your regular job. You don't have to rush into deciding yet as to whether you continue your online business or put it off for the moment. Have a wonderful day, good luck, God bless with your new job!!!

Good Luck for the new venture and hope you could start soon for your first job and although it is contractual then it is still good for you to have experience in this work and it is also good for you if u will also continue to have this small business of you in the internet........
