How I wish I could own a shop!

February 2, 2010 11:33pm CST
I feel I am losting my passion day by day in the boring daily work. I only can do the things I don't like. If I have my own shop, I can allocate the time myself. But I don't know which kind of shop I can operate. I haven't the similar experience. How will I change my current situation? Maybe I should change my job. But it's difficult for me in the economic circumstance.

First of all, let me ask you this. Do you have any experience or anything working in a shop and knowing the way that one works. It's actually not as hard as you might think to start up a business especially if you open it up from home or do it on a small scale like a flea market first. A flea market would be ideal if you are trying to find out what will sell the best, and what not to sell. Try selling different things and get a feel for what you like. If you feel like this is something that you really want to do, make it a priority. You do not have to wait to quit your current job to start doing what you really want to do. It's probably a better idea, in fact, if you keep your job. This way you can work your earnings up with selling your own stuff.

It's a good idea. I can try to oprerate it on the website. Maybe the time is limited. My colleague once managed to operate a shop on Taobao. At last she had to give up it, because the time is limited.
