Who here owns their own business?

[CityBoyGoneCountry]

I've been told multiple times now not to mix business and hobbies, so I guess that's a major peice of advice.

I disagree.

Developing a business from your hobby is frequently just a natural progression. I've always been told that if you want to be happy then you must have a job you love doing. So making a business out of your hobby (which you love doing) is better than making a business out of something you would rather not be doing.

I love gardening. I'm trying to start my own nursery business. There's nothing else I would rather be doing with my life, and to not be doing it would make me unhappy.

I doubt many do since most people here are too young to open up a business, but do you own your own business? Do you know anybody who does? I'm thinking this may be a path I should look into since post-sec. education courses aren't quite so appealing to me at the moment and especially since business expenses are at an all-time low with E-commerce and such. I've taken Entrepreneurship for 2 years now in High School too so I'm not completely new to some home-business concepts. so for those Rating: 5
