Remember that for many a love can quickly sour when used to derive income. This is not a wives tale.

Finding what you want to do is one thing but there are many other aspects to consider when running even the smallest business. Lots of stuff you most likely don't like doing.

Then you have to consider how comfortable you'll be in one of the following categories:

- Tried but didn't make it
- I think I'm breaking even
- Paying the bills...this isn't too bad....it's my life
- I'm doing so well that I'm going skiing for the week. (This most likely means you have people doing the work for you. Is this what you want?)

I don't want to seem discouraging but I'd like you start a venture with full knowledge of what it takes. I'm a sometimes successful entreprenuer. Wouldn't have learned without failures.

When you decide what you really think you want to do then work part time with someone who does something similar or where you can learn a skill required for your dream. Or better yet find someone who does exactly what you want and is ready to retire.

With a couple of years to PLAN you're doing the right thing. Plan, plan, plan....then plan some more.



Best of luck!
