Money wise, it's hard to depend on one business venture only especially if you hardly need to understand everything all by yourself. If it's your passion you'd still have higher chances of getting on top. I also have a small part-time online retailing business in facebook. I have started since April 2010. But I have only been able to cope up with all my break even profits and losses sometime in late September or October. It takes a lot of patience and perseverance to keep yourself in line with the business. Who knows in the future I might be able to rent out my own stall of clothes. But I still work full-time on my relative profession. Anyhow, I will soon be investing and joining a MLM company that has a great health benefit for me and my family as I have tried it myself alongside with entering the stock market by early next year. Bottomline, have several streams of income as soon as your business stabilizes. Best of luck!

I agree with you Angeline that business is better than having a full time job...though we have to forsee things cause in entrepreneurship its always a gamble, there are risks to it. Don't give I hope I can know what business you are into so i can advise you more.... but nevertheless have faith ...

Yes , having your own business and being an entrepreneur is always better than working for somebody else provided it fits your personality character and traits. I wish you had told us what kind of business you went into or are doing now so I can give you suggestions. Do not be discouraged if you sustained initial loses in business, it is but natural, every successful businessman will tell you that one way or the other they lost money but this is part of the learning process and experience. Could you kindly tell us what type of business you are engaged into right now?

Hello there angeline1!
As a human, you have the rights to make your own decisions.
For me you`re doing the right path!
Having a small bussiness is awesome even if its just small.
Your parents are just concerned with you that`s why they dont want you to engage on bussinesses.
My advice would be telling your parents to support you and have faith on you:)
And for you my advice is to have Patience,Strong dedication and determination,inspiration and most of all the guts to believe on your own skills:)
