I'm in some mind point when I realized that earning for living is not only possible to do if you have full time job in a company which only pays you just a little bit compared to what you do to contribute to the company success. From always I thought that the most reliable job is to run your own business and to market yourself, not to have a boss and not to comply with other company policies - you can make your own rules. But, as in my life from different circumstances, I had to provide for my family even in early stages of my life. I now know that I'm only wasting my time providing solutions and advices thus not to mention that giving my whole energy to something which can not be transferred to my children. So, at this point I'm thinking of new business venture, I have some ideas but ideas are welcome from all places I can get ideas from. Could someone share experience of this kind? Can you give me an advice, what do you think would be good for fresh new start up? Any comments are welcome and personal experience too. Thanks

I have a same thought. I dont want to job at any where. I want to do a business to improve my money. I got selected in mnc. But i dont have an interest to do a job. I want to do a business. So, I started Browsing Center and It was developed. I want to start one consultancy for commission basis works. I can start it and I can develop it. So, you can start a business what ever you want but you should have a full knowledge on it. You should stand on it until the last minute. Definitely you will be good in your business.

Hi raj, I already have a day job - full time one, but additional income is always welcome, and I think that I have potential for something more so definitely will give a try this time.

i have some similar thoughts recently and i think there are several things for which people will be ALWAYS ready to pay the first thing is food - fast food or grocery or cofe-bar or some kind of snack to provide the other thing is fun and sport - dancing courses, painting cources or something else and the next is education - any kind of courses which can be easily provided on the internet these are businesses in which you rely totally on yourself and there will be always interest in them

Hi Emil, thanks for your post. I already have an idea and concept about my business. Will definitely try to search for educational material on internet so I can get some more ideas. If you know some sites where I can get free educational material, please share. Thanks

hi linoxy you could run a consulting business based on what your expertise is. Also go to the small business place for a lot of advice on starting a business on your own.They probably have a site on line too. We ran a gardening and landscaping business from our home back when we were first married. My husband set up a schedule of days and times to work on various people's lawn and landscaping needs.find out all you need to know before actually starting the business. talk to other people who are running similar businesses and see what pointers that they can give you.

I wish if we would have business places where you can get advice. There is none in my country :( But anyway, I'm in a middle of developing the idea for my business, I got all nuts and bolts - now all I have to do is to develop the idea and promote it.
