[SummerChild]

Wow, Soror, that's great! When I first started this thread, it was b/c one of my ideas was to purchase a franchise. What has been your experience?

I plan to start my own biz in the next year or so I am becoming financially educated and want to pass this on to my children.

I no longer want to work for money, I want my money to work for me. I want to be able to travel whenever and wher ever the mood stikes me, and only work if I feel like it and in a field that I love.

My two business babies are going to be:

career/spiritual life/educational coaching

catering

Go, Go, GO!

I have launched several businesses over the years including web design, public relations, coaching, and spa products.

Some worked, some didn't. But I kept going even when things got tough.

Make sure that you are doing something that you REALLY love and doesn't seem like "work." Chances are you will stick with it longer!

Also, consider having several businesses/hustles so that you can have multiple income streams.

Best wishes!

What exactly I'm going to do with all of this- Honing my skill level on several different ideas; all I know is God must be ordering my steps on this one because I have no clue as to where He is leading me on this part of my journey...

I to have been thinking about purchasing some vending machines and putting them in various businesses. I just don't know how or where to start with it.
