Business (Start Ups)

Deciding on a business can be both exciting and scary. You must have an independent nature, a risk-taker, motivated, and flexible. Some of us view a business as an alternative to constant traffic, crazy workloads, unforgiving bosses, and unsatisfactory pay. Remember, it does take hard work and determination particularly if you decide to be a full-time business owner. However, you must take the time to determine the best business based on your education, skills, abilities, desires, and lifestyle.

For instance, a 30-year-old woman with no spouse or children with ten years experience as a travel agent will find it easier to switch to a travel writer position whose primary coverage areas include monthly trips to the Caribbean. On the other hand, a 45-year-old single woman with 3 small children has to consider who will watch her babies if she travels. Yes it does take a strong person to become a business owner but you can review your options to determine the best option for you.

The following may be some resources/guides for your use (Remember, I can not guarantee you will find the perfect business but this information may help):
