Anyone own a business?

[Kaotic]

I'm currently working on a business that sells quality second-hand sports/surf clothing and merchandise at a low and cost effective price through Ebay and small businesses in my city.

I'm getting an average of $700 NP P/D, but hopefully more soon, once I have a better customer base.

Do you own any businesses and have you had any experience?

My father owns a photography and web design business and my brother owns a company which produces and sells skins for IPhones. I've done work for both.

I own a few actually, but i am more involved in web based businesses, and work especially in blogging and affiliate marketing.

I don't have any IRL business as I am a student.

Same here, I can't own anything atm
But I manage to make some money online.

I do internet marketing, CPA and a bunch of other things.
I also sell bots, and XBL things.

Well, I don't own one but my family does.

I do. Well its complicated.
I have a registered business name. Mostly for convenience.
I have ran a computer repair business through it, and a few others i dont wish to disclose.
Started another one just recently infact. Well the wife did. But its a joint thing.
Never really made much from any of them.
Well the computer repair business did profit quite well. But not on a regular basis.
These are net related ones anyway.
Thought for years about opening a Martial Arts Hall. Myself and my Mate.
We still talk about it. Will never prosper though. Too many years have passed now.

Let this be a lesson of sorts. If you have an idea. Run with it. Dont wait and wait and wait like i have.
Ultimately you will not succeed if you do this.

I am at an age where owning a business is one of my dreams, but I don't have the money or financial backing to go through with anything. As I get older, I'll begin to expand on my ideas and one day I'll own my own business, but now's not the time. I have education to learn and qualifications that I need to achieve. One day, just one day, you might see me on the News.

It's not hard to seek investment and capital...

Have you ever heard the saying ' an ounce of action is worth more than a tonne of thought ' ?
