Home businesses are a red flag. It would have to be legit and you have to know the rules, no kitchen table etc...

We have property and my husband loves landscaping, flowers etc... I told him he should consider turning it into a businesses. He would be good at it but then again, we would end up living in a jungle because he would keep bringing plants into the house. nah, I've said it once, I won't encourage it anymore...

freemkt, what do you LOVE doing? Can you turn it into a business? I'm sure you have already thought of it but who knows. Opening a business doing something you enjoy and do well is "always" better than doing it for the sake of it.

successful businesses serve their customers well.

How much someones skill is worth is truly subjective but we know what it means to many business owners as little as possible

Which means we need a GREAT business climate. More businesses means more demand w/o more supply, and as little as possible changes to a "bidding up" dogfight.

that is a terrible example you know if you go to another store there will be bread you do not know if you go somewhere else there will a job or if there is if it would pay more just more excuses to pay crappy wages.
