@Markus my dream is to open a cafe one day. but i would like to also have an at home business i could do to make stable money while i work on my dream business. i have heard of people opening bookkeeping businesses at home and it worked out for them. i have looked into it for myself am interested. how did you start yours? its not that im trying to rush, i know that wont work out. i am a patient person, i have just been very frustrated with being mistreated at my job and having been unsuccessful with starting a business. i am currently looking for another job. i have tried to get a loan but unfortunately i cant get any loans due to bad credit. i dont have a problem working. i am willing to work to achieve my goals and dreams. i am just tired of working for people that mistreat me and dont care about their business. i am tired of my life revolving around their schedule. i will follow your advice about short and long term goals. i feel that will be one good start.
