Da comrade. I now have my mind right. You are talking to a 45 year businessman here... I have owned up to 5 successful businesses running at the same time. I am now down to one and I am closing it up this year and retiring. You can work to pay my employees unemployment. Being self employed... none for me.

About ten years ago, an acquaintance decided to do it and start a turtoring business. We did real well, were highly thought of and successful. Two things caused it not to work. One was that as she grew the business, the regualtions on workplace, certifications, and accounting became impossible. The other was that the public schools through federal programs started subsidizing (mostly ineffective) tutoring programs throwing extra money to public school teachers.

Until regulations and the feds picking the winners and losers pulls way back, starting and growing a business is almost impossible.
