I like the security, benefits and pay of my current gig. I did buy a couple of rental properties last year. So that's kind of a side business that I own.

I want to, but just don't know what to do and just don't have the capital right now to step out and do it.

Long story (making it longer)several years ago my wife wanted to pass on some of her canning veggies/jams recipes passed down from her grandmother to our middle daughter Camille.(google camille cortinas)It was difficult to make just one jar of pickles .Camille is a singer song writer and has gigs at coffee shops/restaurants etc. during her breaks she would sell homemade pickles and jams .It got to where the venues started using her products (Opening Bell Coffee,Double Wide, All Good Cafe,Local Yokel McKinney,Wine Therapist,Roosters Home and Hardware, etc.) They got the idea to start a small business,rent a booth and sell their products at Farmers Markets ( https://www.goodlocalmarket.org/ ) Competition was pretty steep with cottage law in effect,home made products( https://texascottagefoodlaw.com/ )so unlike many of her competitors my wife upped her game and submitted all her products to Texas A&M and FDA for testing and has certifications enabling her to sell and ship nationwide .Word of mouth and some of her big name vendors William Sonoma North Park and their St.Louis branch has them very busy,my plan was to retire ,fish every day,travel and enjoy our retirement .Somebody has to do the heavy lifting and deliveries So I hope to achieve my goal one day .In closing, starting and keeping a business, can be profitable but... it's a whole lot of work ! https://www.facebook.com/YimsFoods

Rudy, we now have a great farmer's market in Arlington. It's only on the 4th Saturday of each month, but last month there were over 50 vendors and folks were parking as much as a half-mile away. Might be a good venue! Donna and I bought some of those pickles that time we went to All Good Café with you guys and they were great. You'd have one guaranteed customer for sure!!!
Family is everything! Life is precious. We don’t have forever. We have now. This moment. We can choose to love our lives now.

WOW Rudy, I asked this question because i have been working a full time job for over 27 years and things seem to be going away. I have also been doing a side business since 2002. I am thinking of doing it full time. But fear has a big hold of me. My Faith is big and I am not worried. I just need to step out and make it happening

I like to walk away and not worry about it, I will own some condos in College station someday after I payoff my primary residence.

I’ve had a roofing business for over 20 years, a restaurant for the last 15 years and just took over another restaurant last week. You will struggle and there is no guaranteed pay check.
It’s not for everyone.....
