    Or maybe you've already started the one? How hard and profitable was that for you?
     
    I actually do have plans to do this! For a long time now my friend and I have been intending to start our own dance coaching business. We have a solid angle and business plan and would be operating in a way the competition wouldn't so in theory it would be moderately profitable. In the best case scenario we'd be making $300 or so each per day. Things keep forcing us to push our plans back though which is unfortunate.
     
    I've thought about it a bit but I strongly value personal freedom in my life so being a freelance network penetrator would be much more fulfilling for me than starting my own business and dedicating massive amounts of time and funds to it.
     
    I want to start a business selling Castform plushies
     
    I do freelance stuff sometimes ?
     
    Much as I would like to, I don't think I could handle the stress. Keeping my own hours would be nice, but trying to attract business and dealing with taxes does not sound nice. The pressure of being solely responsible for a business would probably break me in no short order...it's not as easy or glamorous as people like to think it is.

    I suppose I've always had dreams of being Patreon funded or something, but I don't have any marketable talents...and I suppose that's what it all comes down too. I'm not confident enough.
     
    I would love to start my own company and publish a couple of my board game designs one day. I hope I can actually pull that off, the whole business ordeal looks pretty complicated to me. Either way, it's probably not something I'd make much money with. It just seems cool to try.

    I don't know. I can see the advantages, but I need directions in my life. I can't see myself being in charge of everything.
     
    Nah. I prefer job security to potential profit increases.

    That and if I needed to hire anyone else, I don't think I'd be a good boss. I'd have a hard time firing someone that's a good person but doesn't work fast enough or something like that. :(
     
    Definitly not. I highly doubt that I would be able to handle the stress. I'd rather work under someone who is better at that sort of thing and earn my income that way.
     
    I would love to make the leap myself, It's an ambition of mine but there can be a period where you need to work a day job and work on weekends or so. It's a tough one!
