I ve heard the answer over and over right here on FR, start your own business, go door to door, have a bake sale!

One of the great blessings in my life was going out on my own when I was in my 20's. I never looked back. Some years were pretty tough, but because I was building my future it didn't seem so bad. One thing I have learned over the years is not everyone is cut out to run their own business. The stress alone can be too hard.

Being happy includes knowing your limits.

That's why my hubby always preferred to work for someone. Now that we are ready to semi-retire and looking to start some small businesses to help with the cash flow, it's time to re-evaluate that philosophy. Thankfully, they can be small income producing businesses, so that'll minimize the stress.

If you have any other advice for a newbie business, feel free to share. Sounds like you've been there, done that.
