Ok So..... I believe alot of people in this world would like to work for themselves. But, can I ask how do you do it?... I mean I would love to but I know there is alot of drive to it... I've heard, alot of the times you have to put in alot of money and will not see a profit for 5 YEARS!!!! Is this all true? I know work doesn't come easy well working for yourself is hard. Can anyone give me some suggestions on where does one start? Please feel free to share your story on success and give some advice :)

Working for yourself is much harder than just going to a job. You have to have some savings in case your business doesn't take off right away. I didn't need to save up money because I'm on benefits and those help with my expenses from business starting.

Well, I think it depends on what you do, those 5 years are not the same for everyone, but if you are talking about someone trying to go into online marketing or something like that, it does make sense. But if you try doing something else, you might see a profit sooner, so it all depends.
The best thing to do is to try to start your own thing while you work for someone else, in your free time. That way you can have an income and work at making your dream come true at the same time!
