If you could start your own business, what type of business would it be and why?
 
Dunno...

I am not sure if I would call it a news corporation or propaganda. Although I imagine it would certainly be called propaganda by some.

A long time ago I wanted to start a floor buffing kind of business. Mostly cause I enjoyed learning how to use it. Now, I would love to start up a comic shop. Cause I love comics and feel there should be a store like it in this city.

Seems like the comic book business isn't doing so well. Or am I wrong?
 
I wonder if people would be willing to put up with that, Smooth

Welcome back!

Good luck with the business.
 
Besides the freelance web stuff I already do, I'd like to have a machine/wood shop where I can pretty much build whatever I want and sell it. From custom water blocks to tables.

I'm confused...put up with what, EE?
Ah never mind, I wasn't reading right, but this:

since they usually believe they know better ways to do certain things
If they think they know better, how're they putting up with you?

I would go back to dog obedience and behavior training. When I did this before, I would go to the owner's home and train them to train their dog. I charged an hourly rate with my first visit taking about 2 hours. Then, subsequent visits would depend on what the owner wanted the dog to learn and also because about 85% of the time, the owners wouldn't follow my instructions and repeating and enforcing the training techniques would be needed. While it was frustrating for the owner, since they usually believe they know better ways to do certain things, it was great for me being able to charge for those later visits.

Yeah...if I was able, I'd go back to doing that in a heartbeat.

What a wonderful business! Makes me chuckle that owners think trainers are there to train the dogs.

Costume delivery business. I'd dress up in costume, go to people, and deliver flowers or pizza or whatever. Then I'd dance. Pretty cool life as a mascot.
