    now...  — 10 hours ago

    ...is not the right time for this.

    What I’m gonna do instead is treat my existing job as if it was my own business and get in the mindset of working for myself.

    As I’m on commission I hope this will make a difference to my pay in the short term and boost my chances in the long term of owning my own business.

    My way of figuring out what business to start  — 14 hours ago

    I thought up an excellent way of figuring out what type of business to start that gave me a result that was so incredibly accurate that I couldn’t believe it.

    First I wrote down all my interests. Next to the interest I wrote down what I would like to do in that area if I could do any job in it. So for example, next to the interest “money” I wrote “become business owner”. I then gave each item a rating. The important thing is the ability to give multiple items the same rating. I started at 1 for things I was most interested in like computers and making money. After rating them I put all the 1s into a sentence. My sentence said that I wanted to run a software development and Internet business. That is exactly the kind of thing I would like to do so that is what kind of business I will be starting.

    Worth doing!

    Starting your own business is surprisingly easy to do. Just file with your state government, pay a small fee and you’re in business (literally). Now, making it a successful business can be a little trickier, but if you wanna start one then go for it.

    All that’s required of me is 1-2 hours a week removing items from photos. Not a lot, but it’s regular.

    i like to do this

    Moved this up in priority  — 4 days ago

    because I am really working actively on getting it going. In the next two weeks, I would like to:

    1. Finish a logo and banner
    2. Make cards and flyers
    3. Produce and list 10 products
    4. Advertise around the neighborhood, on Craig’s List, and with my family and friends. Still haven’t decided about advertising at work . . . this is decidedly a side business, but I don’t want to annoy people. Though I do work in a school and all the women are always having parties of some kind or another, and this isn’t really different.

    Once the products are up, I’ll unveil the site here!!!
