If I had the option to and the correct funding I would love to open up my own business.

A freelance writer business that I could expand and make so that it helped so many people would be something I would look into.

Absolutely! If I could, I would! What type? That's the question, I have a lot of varies interests that would be fun to pursue in a business sense

 

[Kyng]

Probably not... I'm far too nice to succeed in business!

 

[Dismal_Bliss]

All I do is work for myself, lol. I love being in and having businesses.

 

[ElegantAura]

For a lot of reasons, no. But if I were younger and my life had turned out differently, probably yes

Given my background (25+ years in IT in both public and private sectors), I could certainly set up shop as an IT consultant of some form but not sure I want the hassle of running a business. I mean, I could handily run my own IT, but what about accounting, billing, taxes, building vendor and customer relationships, and so on. We shall see when I retire sometimes in the next few years.

If I was going to open something, it would be something with regular business hours and closed on the weekends.

I could imagine running a restaurant that is open 7 days a week and open late. Even if I wasn't there I'd be constantly checking in and I am sure my staff would be calling me with issues, it would be an all-consuming nightmare after a while.

I always thought about opening a store that sold guns and ammo. My step dad did it as a side hustle back in the 90's. When he met my mom and they started dating in late 92', he closed up his shop. He pretty much kept everything.

I suppose that is easy, if you sold food you would have to worry about expiration dates and rotating stock

No.

Technically, I am already involved with 2 businesses so far, and I am about to help start a 3rd..

Currently I have a 9 to 5 job, but business is definitely on my plan. But of course I need enough capital to start a business, so that’s why I am still in 9 to 5.

I don't own a business now and I really plan to open my own business soon. I have always been skeptical about running a business, but with the rate of job insecurity in my country, I want to own and run a business as backup. Maybe in the next five years, I should be running my own business.
