Do yourself a favor!

Life is tough and people really need to plan for their futures. More so now days than anyother for generations. Things are more expensive and harder to come by because of that than back afew years. Any plan to make good money take alot of work and forethought. It isn't easy nor is it fast.

Yeah that is right. I am working on some and hope it will grow success or it will be the great lesson for me to work better.the most important thing is have guts to try and learn new things about business.

Good luck w/your buisness. I was self employed for the last 20 years of my working career & altho i worked hard i never was sorry i went into buisness for myself.

I wish I had the money to start a business :(

hi, thats why dont lean to much to your job you already had,and be prepare always,dont love your job so much,because someday your job will gone.

Life is tough indeed. we have to find ways on how to survive it. I believe you are a business minded person, I am too. I used to sell stuff like shoes, bags and even chocolate lollipops i made. The income is good but it is really tiring and requires skills. Then i tried investing my money but then again, I got scammed. So now, I am thinking of venturing on an online business. An online boutique to be specific. Just checking my finances and how to start it. Have to study it well enough so this time I will not go wrong.

I think that is good advicce to follow if possible.

Hi friend. It's quite a coincidence on my part to be reading your post. As of this moment, I have tendered my resignation with my current employer and it will be effective sometime soon. I really am not thinking of searching for another employer because I really wanted to try it on my own - having my own business, that is. I've been in the corporate workforce for more than a decade now and I'm quite tired and disappointed. You have to believe me when I say that we practically have no savings from working with employers; but I guess I could borrow from my parents for the start-up capital. I certainly would like to find my own niche in the business world. Anyway, good luck to both of us in our endeavors. God bless.

Good luck with your travel business. I am retired and like to play now. I guess that is why they call these the "golden years" -- lol. Take care!

That's true! You are the only one who will gain by what you are doing right now.. SO why blame someone if things go wrong or life just takes a wrong turn somewhere. Life is to live, and we get only one chance at it.

Yes, i agree. In order to have a better future, it's best for one to start their own business because it's for the long run, and it can even be passed to the next generation. It does not matter what business it is, as long as it brings in profits and it's legal. Nothing is better than setting our own working hours, with no worries about being retrenched, sacked.

Wow, congratulations. Life is really tough. I'm actually experimenting on things right now, to do unorthodox jobs as well. I want to become my own boss and not to be constrained by other people. Its quite scary but i'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I agree with you iwrite. One needs to try, in order to be able to succeed and every time we try something, failure brings more experience while success brings achievement; therefore it's important to accept failure just as much as success. I love trying different money making ideas and usually put aside an amount that I am willing to loose in my bid to succeed. Since I have already put the amount for loosing I don't regret in case I loose and just wait until some other opportunity comes up. Hope your internet travel business brings you lots of luck! Take care.

I am still a student so I only do cheap business. I do loading business for all networks here in the Philippines. The profit is not so much but the demand is high so I have a steady income. I am happy I tried this business because now I can buy things without asking money from my parents. I also have money to buy new clothes and girly stuffs. I even have enough money for savings. So I say business is really good.

Yeah. I think people should give it a try if that have the financial means to do so and the knowledge to make it work.

I don't disagree at all. I firmly believe in multiple streams of income. You can't just rely on one job to get you through financially. We see this now with people losing their jobs and taking a long time to find another one. If you have seveveral income streams if one goes away at least you have other income to fall back on. I refuse to work like a slave the rest of my life for some corporation with nothing to show for it. I plan to retire well before I am in my 65 and I will do that by having multiple streams of income.

haha =D Starting business is not easy because i'm been there before. Start up is usually the hardest part of all, but once one succeed in getting past it, it would be so much easier.. haha =D I've been involved in 2-3 MLMs in the past and so i know how it works. For one to really earn in them, one has to be a pioneer or early starter with lots of downline.. haha

Yes you are right. Lately I have been gathering relevant information on how to invest in the stock market through some insurance companies. Even if the investment is small, well I think it will be a good start. Business has many risks. One aspirant has to go through failure after failure but the trick is to not give up. Learn by your mistakes and strive to be better.

So here I am taking the plunge and venturing into the unknown world of financial accounts. I do not know much but the pay is good.... i do not know much for now but i can always learn from training... so here is to me and all the peeps out there who are venturing into unchartered territories. Good luck to all of us and may all go well with us!

hello iwrite, Life is too short so we must try what we want even it will not end up so good but we must be positive all the time. have a nice day!
