re: I'm tired of working for someone else.

I never wanted to own a business after having my father do so. He owned Noah's Pets and was constantly working. But recently I found something that I love and I am working on a 5 year plan to get it together and working. Im 26 so I need some time to build capital but I think the thing that turned me around was finding something I love.

In small business you are "married" to your work so make sure you love it. Don't open a business just because you want to be a business owner. Start a business because you love the work.
