Each day millions of American each day dream of quitting their jobs and working for themselves. Millions of Americans start-up home-based business ventures while others invest in office space or storefronts. Self-employment looks interesting if you’re working on a job you hate, if you are experiencing burnout on your job or if you just don’t get long with your boss or supervisor. Some people don’t mind the job or the boss, either they don’t like working with the public or they are tired of working in a room without windows. There are as many reasons why people want to work for themselves, as there are people whose businesses fail after yielding the temptation to quit their jobs.

If you are one of the millions of people who are really serious about becoming your own boss, get started by answering the following questions:

1. What kind of business do you see yourself operating?

2. How much money will your venture generate and will it be enough to support yourself and your family?
