Starting My own Business. Something to think about.

I ran my own home business for a few years. I knew how and where to do and get supplies, as I had worked for another company doing the same thing for many more years. As I had to put distance between the company and my new residence, I had to find something else to do to keep from driving that far every day. I enjoyed so much doing my own business. I had a few employees, and sometimes needed part timers. Because of some issues in my life, I have had to let my business rest for a while. I haven't decided when I will get back to it. It is alot of responsibilities, but I did fine as long as I kept up on my prayers.

Starting a business is always on my mind, but i won't do it your way. IF u are investing in people to run things for u, i rather u do a franchise instead. Running a business is about doing it the way u wanted, taking control of things and ensure there's no dispute when your business becomes a success in the future. There are many cases of family members turning against each other because of money and business, and that's the last thing i want to see happening to myself.

I have just recently started a business. In my case, its quite challenging and I say its not that easy. You have to monitor and insure that all is flowing well. On d first week I was at a loss. Now Im beginning to see some profit. Though its not what i have expected, but at least its a start. I hope that in the long run it will improve and i can finally see the result I wanted to see.

I just did, 2 months ago. I started selling all my old clothes, shoes, bags, accessories even my closet. At first my intention was to clear my room with all the clutter, that's why I decided to open a yard sale. I didn't expect anything, I just want all my unused items to be disposed. Luckily it went great. Now I'm opening my yard sale Every Sunday and I have earned quite amount of money out of my old items.

HI nicregi I also want to start my own business. But I am not dare to start yet due to risk. Actually I am planing to start my own financial planing company and share trading. But I think I should start my business.

Wow! It is nice to see that you are already starting to think of getting into the business world. That is the hardest part of putting up a business: starting it. Good thing that you have some family members that you can rely on and be trusted with on your future venture. I've been trying to think of a business to start with too, however, I am really not an entrepreneur and not really inclined in doing business works. Also, I can't think of anything that I like to start a business with. That's why I am still sticking to just pure investments as of the moment. You're on the right track nicregi. Just keep up the pace and good luck on your future business!

Here in India also its not an easy one to start. But I am also thinking in the same line as you do. Only difference is I do not have a girl friend to support. If yes, I could have done it earlier for sure. Got lots of plans inside my brain. Can do it successfully once if started. Even I visited Malaysia in search of some good product. mmm.... thanks for chosing this topic to discuss.

hi nicregi, having a business is not easy but once you started it and you see how it grows you will feel different the happiness and being proud in yourself i would like to suggest that if ever you put up a business something that you really like, something you think that is easy for you to manage. best of luck

I have a business. But this one is small time. Its actually a direct selling slash multilevel marketing business. The agreement says, I am not an employee of the company and that I should consider the business as mine (but still, I need to abide by their rules). I get product orders from other people and make a purchase order from the business center. Then, I'll deliver the item to them once it is available. I do the deals with my clients. The items should be COD or collect on delivery, but we are still students and our allowance comes just once a week, so, I make arrangements as to the installments. I invested money for the lifetime registration. After that, I still need some money to get the items that I have ordered. I'll just get my earnings once the clients have paid me fully. Well, goodluck on your business. You said, its a busy one. But you just have to be patient. You will succeed in the long run.
