I am in the family business and my mom is clearly strained… We are blessed to have business hand over fist even in this recession but that is not my problem, or question… My question is how can a small business owner learn to lay back enjoy the fruits of their labor??? I mean she has owned this insurance agency for 30 yrs. and has nursed it from ONE policy to what it is today? But her health is declining as she is still trying to take payments, pictures of homes, etc. on what should be considered now at least a “mid sized” business?

Home business advice and info would be greatly appreciated?

I going to start a home business pretty soon, but the thing is I don’t know anyone personally to find out how to go about starting one. So I wanted to know what are the things I need to know and things I need to do before I jump in, preferably from people who have home businesses or who are planning to start one as well.

By the way I live in Toronto, Canada. If I could get some info and advice from you all, I would appreciate it!
I’m interested in starting an online business from home, and having a website with all of these products on it so people can order them. I’m interested in selling hair products like: perms, weaves, shampoos, oils , baby/kids hair products etc. I’ve compared prices, textures and quality of these products from other stores around my area and online that sell the same kind of products jus to get an idea of what sells and what doesn’t and basically just what people prefer. So I know what I want to sell but, I just don’t know how to get it started. I know I need a business plan, and business name etc. I know you have to get it registered but how do I do all these things.

Anything that I haven’t mentioned that someone who like to share with me, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for sharing your info with me!

What do you think of these consulting business ideas???

1. “green” home and lifestyle consultant: teaching people and households how to lessen their impact on the environment and get healthier

2. city guide consultant for businesses: working with new hires at businesses that recently relocate to show them the area

3. personal travel consultant/planner for wealthy people….I would plan their travels from start to finish including purchase tickets, print itenerairies…etc

I currently own and run an internet dog boutique, and really enjoy it, but it just doesn’t bring in the big bucks.. I only started 9 months ago, so it hasn’t been forever, but it only makes me a part-time wage, less than 1000 dollars profit a month (it varies, anywhere from 500 – 800 in general). That’s how much I would make working in my city part time, but I just really enjoy it, like I said. My dad already owns and runs his own kitchen cabinet shop, but business has been slow going there.. I’m 22, by the way. I don’t have a degree as of yet, although I am in college.. I don’t think I want to do anything dog-related, but maybe.. My parents also want to open up a specialized sandwich shop, so we’ve thought of that also. Any other ideas? No bakeries or restaurants, they’re just too hard.. Also thought of commercial cleaning services and courier services, as well as daycares, but nothing has really clicked. We really are in the very beginning stages of talk/ideas. Thanx 4ur ideas

rockability asked:


I am a college student and I currently work at a grocery store. Thinking about the way life is, I realized that having your own business may be challenging but rewarding.

So I want to know, how easy is it to open a small business, and how much money will I need? Also, I am not sure what is a good business to open? I have always dreamt of having a coffee/book/music shop, but I am not sure how easy/expensive/successful that would be.

Please throw some ideas at me.
