Hi and thank you for stopping by my post.
As I have stated in my Subject I am just not sure what to do.
I have a couple of business posibilities but not sure of exactly what to do...

I am currently working for a major Medical insurance company in my area in the pharmacy department and no I am not a pharmacist.

I am in my 40's divorced with 4 kids and am also looking to possibly go to nursing school in spring of 2008.

I ran a small injet recycling business a few years ago but my partner and I lost intrest after he got married and I decided to start back to school.

I also was a Dj back in the 90's for a few years but gave it up due to not spending enough time with my family.

A friend of mine told me about a business that he started in copywriting business that he got into and seems to be doing fairly good with.

I also thought about diong something like a vertual assistant.

I also have good computer skill.

Ok so what is my question.

Like most people I need time. Time to study, Time to spend with my kids and some time for myself but also need money to exsist.

What to do...
Do I get back into the dj business. Great money and not alot of time spent except on weekends when I have my children.

Go back the injet recycling business and try it by my self. ( I have everything ready to go just need a new name for the company)

Or try and do one of the others. that I have talked about?

Would love to here some feedback.
Thanks
tom

Tom -

You can't start a business if you don't know what you want to do. Also, any new business is going to take A LOT of time - no matter what that business is going to be.

Also, how are you going to go to school (and study), start a new business, and spend time with your kids? I'm sorry, but time is not on your side... You may be better off taking out loans and going back to school. Nurses are in high demand and going back to school for something that is going to be in demand for many years to come sounds like a good plan to me.

Good luck!

Hey Tom,

First... obviously you have income needs (i.e., you need to take in $X/month). If you have any savings, then you can factor that into to how many months you can go without an income. This will put some bounds on what you might feel comfortable trying, and might rule out some things that might not be possible given your current life situation.

Second... the way I figured out which business to do was to just start writing a business plan. I started working on one as an idea, and if the written plan itself didn't work out, then there is no way the business idea was going to work. I went through about 6 or 7 of these ideas and plans before I found the one that became my retail store (that's been in business for 5 years).

I have a similar "attention span" issue - I've tried lots of things in very different areas (I'm an engineer my training/college, but my business is a retail paint-your-own-pottery studio)

Good luck!

Hello Tom,

I completely understand about family time. My husband and I have a concrete construction business, but winter months are slow, so we researched a lot of different business opportunities and we found FreeLife. We have a great group of people all working together to build our businesses and that gives us all more time to spend with our families. What is great about this business is you are already into health and wellness and Himalayan Goji juice and the nutritional products from FreeLife our the best of the best, backed by one of the worlds #1 nutritionist Dr. Earl Mindell. I look forward to talking to you about this opportunity.
