a sweet start.....

The last 10 years I have wanted to own my own business. I have tried and failed more times than I care to count. Right before I married in 2001, I attempted to buy a franchise of the dance company I worked for. It was a great idea in theory, IF the owner wasn't slightly crazy....wonderful, fun, adventurous, but crazy nonetheless. Probably not someone I want to give $10,000 and the next umpteen years of my life to. Smart move on my part. Hubby and I tried a candy machine business right after we married...HUGE MISTAKE. It took us years to recoup from that disaster. I have attempted 3 direct sales companies, to varied degrees of sucess. A few years ago the "business" was sewing...which, for the record...I still like to do. Let's be honest though, as much as I love to be crafty, how many hand bags would I have to sell on etsy to make it worth my while? Oh, and this is the 4th blog I have begun. Are you seeing a theme here? Indecisive maybe??? Well, the one thing I have been certain on is motherhood. I. love. it. I want to be here when my kids leave for school, and I want to be waiting when they get off the bus. But, at *ahem* 37 years of age, I BELIEVE I am done having babies. Babies take a lot of time and energy....time and energy I could now be putting into a business. Well, since it seems I am entering a new chapter.....what to do, what to do???? It's time to stop spinning my wheels and drive this dream in the right direction. Want to come along for the ride? I don't mind backseat drivers!
