That's odd, my father started his own business when I was 10 and brother was 4. I have worked in family business since 2004, owned 2 of my own businesses and would NEVER work for anyone else. My younger brother (24) has owned 3 businesses (2 at the moment) and I would be amazed if he ever works for anyone else again.
Owning your own business of course has downsides but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I don't know what businesses you owned but I've worked for large and small businesses. A lot of small businesses are struggling at the moment because people are saving instead of spending unless you are selling smart phones which is a different market.
I have had an outstanding start to the year in both the planning and law practices. Real Estate Agents I talk to are saying the same thing.
One of the main estate agents I deal with had his best year ever last year, and he has been in it since the 1990's.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but dealing with idiots day in and day out does not stop when you own your own business. You can rarely eradicate them from your business, only difference is the idiots now cost you time and money whereas previously they were costing your employer that time and money.
So many people out there are too negative, i have always believed that there are significantly more opportunities in Australia than there are people willing to take them. Long may it continue.
I think you have to deal with different idiots. You are swapping idiots staff/colleagues to idiots cutomers/clients. At least at work you can ignore the idiots but in business, you can't ignore them because they are the one paying your bills. So there are pros and cons for being a staff or being your own boss.
well done ace in the hole
may I ask, what line of business is it?
Most of our work was because of human error or stupidity!
Import to retail - fitness equipment
I think import to retail would work well with almost any product.
Keep it predominantly online based for best results.
Hi guys,
Slightly off topic but a friend is looking to sell a small business, anyone know any decent websites used to buy/sell small businesses?
Natmarie, is thre any way you can turn what you do now into a business? QUOTE]
Hi Joanmc,
I work in the health and safety field, so yes, with some hard work I could become a safety systems consultant to small companies who wish to tender for work with large blue-chip resource companies, and I could probably make some decent coin doing it. At this point in time I don't have enough industry experience to break out on my own, and I'm still studying my post-grad but in a few years this is definately what I would be looking at doing.
I think I will probably end up staying in the field I'm in for now, put up with being an employee for a while longer and refocus on my investment strategy for the short term future rather than buy a food/franchise business at this time.
In the last two weeks I've come out of my career slump a bit and am starting to see some positives in what I do - enough to stick at it for a few more years yet anyway. But yes, once my properties are paying for themselves and putting a little bit into my pocket I would like to have a go at the consulting field and work for myself rather than an employer. It is something I could easily do on the side at first before quitting my day job too.
