Been it the business for 7 years 5 years full time. When people start out on a business adventure, I feel they should do it part-time first. Make some mistakes and see if you can handle the pressure of running a business. I live in Wisconsin I have seven months of making enough money to carry me the whole year. It was rough the first couple of years when i went full time. With a wonderfull wife and children (God Bless Them) we have seen an increase in business every year. My secret is the only competion is myself I determine if I will succeed or fail.
