Have you ever thought about starting your own busienss ?

If so what did you want to start up or what to start up.

Or do you have one already

My brother had a small silver plated flatware replacement service, with a catalog he mailed out to dealers every year. When he tired of his hobby, he gave me all of his stock and I ran it for about four years. My best year I only earned about $4000.00. Gradually I discovered that most of the stock was undesirable to dealers and buyers, because the patterns were not in demand, and it was hugely expensive to find and buy collectible patterns.

I expanded that business to a small stall at a local flea market, and my son helped me. I liked that part best. It was fun. When I started the business I put his name on it along with mine, and he was SO proud of himself! He was adorable when he was waiting on customers. He had the natural gift of Gab.

@kodiac 😂 I wanted to open a doughnut shop, but I couldn't raise the dough. Then I got tired of the hole idea.

Have been involved in several start-ups. There are few new things I’d like to do, but I am recovering from a hard couple of years.

It’s not a good economy for my sector anyway. Will ride it out and recoup in the process.

Well wish i could start a business in photography, but for this i will need a budget for at least a couple of months, and gear is quite expensive..

@Alexander87 If you have some collateral, you can borrow the money you need. The budget of a couple of months really isn't all that much. And if you're confident you're setting up the business in a way that it's going to be making enough money, it shouldn't take you that long to pay it back. It's doable.
