Your own business or a regular job?

Foremost, I have to say that having my own business is one of my greatest dreams even before I graduated from college; and I love responding to these types of questions. Personally, I definitely like to put up a dormitory or boarding house particularly for transient students. In fact, I've told my younger female sibling about this and I urged her to be my business partner. We have agreed to locate a place or land for sale near universities or schools. Sadly, I haven't come up with a substantial capital for this purpose until now. I also want to put up a school supplies shop because the rationale behind this decision is that there will always be students needing various supplies for school use especially for projects. My spouse, on the other hand, told me that he likes to have an eatery business which he plans to put up in a thickly populated area preferably in his hometown near the plaza, municipal hall, and public school. When this pushes through, he wants for us to be hands-on primarily; and after a considerable time, we will hire some of his unemployed or out-of-school young relatives in this business. I do believe that we will be able to have our own lawful family business which we could pass on to our offsprings and grandchildren in the future.

I think having your own business is more rewarding. I have a part time business now, and I am really enjoying it. It has not made much yet, but a lot has to do with the fact that I need to put more into it.

Having your own business could be good but there is so much stress there, I was going to open up my own gift shop at one stage but things happened and i never did get to do it but I am so glad as things are so bad now in that area, I think I would have come out of it rather badly.

i have my own business and it is good but also remember its more work and you have to do alot and dont get paid like you do on a regular job.but the money is better as long as you can keep the money coming in and also you got to be able to have patience and control,you have to deal with alot more than you do a regular job you ang you got to put up with alot more b.s. sometimes.

Having my own successful business is one of my dreams. I tried to set-up one before but was not that successful due to shortage of capital & rental problem. Now I have a regular work but I haven't let go of my dream. I am saving, so someday I can set-up my own, taking with me the lessons of my first venture, along with the experience I gained working with others.
