"Please Help"


          

I am so lost and confused I don't know where to go or what to do. I work for my dad he plans to retire in the next 3 years so yes already I am starting to worry.

I know for 100% fact that I do not want to work for anyone else I want to work for my self. I really want to find something that makes decent money and something that I can do from home. I would really perfer to...make a product or items VS offer a service but I am open to either end. I don't have to have to leave my home alot if kind of the point.

Please help me come up with some ideas I don't know what to do and I can't think of anything good to do or to start. I thought about a daycare but I am in an apartment and the boyfriend loves children we want 3 of our own someday but doesn't care for the idea of them in our home as a daycare. I can't say I blame him. I also started a dog treat business but that isnt going to make me a living to get buy on so please help!!! I need ideas and suggestions.

It's really hard to give you a lot of good quality ideas when we don't know much about you. For instance, what do you do for your dad? When I first started reading this, I figured maybe you could start to take over his business. Also, what sort of things are you good at? Think about things like computers or consulting. I was going to include some sort of pet sitting business, but I imagine your apartment is too small for a large number of animals.

What kind of work do you do for your dad?
Why do you have to work?
What kind of work do you like to do?
How much time are you going to be able to work with 3 kids in future?

If you can answer these I can give you some ideas.

Have you discussed with your Dad what he is going to do with the business?

It seems to me that if someone were to step in and take over for your dad, post-retirement, you might be able to hang in there and continue to do the same job. But perhaps without having the "working for someone else" stygma over your head. Perhaps your Dad can sell you a smaller piece of the company, thereby assuring your longevity?

I really don't know what else to suggest other than to focus on the dog treats and really make it work.

But then, I wouldn't be the first to suggest that.

Good luck with it.
