First off what do you want to do i.e resturants,repair service or what, When you decide what you want, go work in that field for a year or two and see if thats what excites you, Second when you do start you own business be prepared to never have a life again because that business is your life if you have employees, This is very true in the resturant industry. I would say the very best thing you could do is have a solid business plan and follow it to a tee,This will help you achieve your goals. Granted you will have to tweek it from time to time. Being in business has great perks but it also has draw backs. I don't think that theres any thing that can prepare for the new experience of a man with many titles. My opinion
