Is anyone an Entrepreneur?

[christa]

I started working for myself when I was in highschool. I incorporated my business in college. Now I work at home and it is wonderful. It took years to get to this place though . . . it was a lot of hard work. There's a lot more to it than you'd think.

What kind of business are you thinking of starting???

Well, i have alot of ideas. But, the one that i think will give me fast results of interests is making treats.
But, i'm kinda not sure if i should.

Animal treats?

You could always contact local shops & see if they would be willing to sell your products in their shops. Or start up an online shop. That would probably be the best way to go . . . if you could continue to handle the volume of sales if you hit it big!

I was thinking of doing it online, Cuz one of my friends is an IT tech and makes websites for companies on the side. So, i was thinking of asking.
But, i'm wondering will people want to buy them and should i try.
Really if i think about it i won't really lose out on anything but Dough....
I've already made some and Camen Loves them!

My husband is an Entrepreneur, kind of. He doesn't really have his own business, but he does work for himself. He is a computer programmer and works contract work. For him it has worked out very well, he makes more than twice what he made working for an employer.

I have never started my own business, but I lend money to people who are small business people. Just be aware of what kind of capital ($$$) you are going to need to sustain your business in the early days and have it set aside, and you need to be able to account for growth and the increased capital needs at that time. Seems like most small businesses that fail do so because they are undercapitalized. You can't start a business on a shoestring, support your personal bills and the bills of the business without having some money set aside and a real business plan. You might start by contacting your local Small Business Development Center (SBDC). If you go to www.sba.gov, there is a ton of information available for people who want to start their own small business. I would definitely suggest you start there as you start planning what you want to do. You should be able to find your local SBDC through the SBA's website as well.

Good luck!
