    Default what kind of business would you start?

    If money were no factor as far as start up, etc what type of business venture would you begin? Would you want to work from home or would you want a storefront?

    So many things interest me but I enjoy working from home and working when I want - so to speak. I don't have set hours.

    I'm glad I began my VA business and would like to expand to other things maybe like dental billing.

    I also would love to have a gift basket business.

    If I had a store I think I would love to own a day spa or even a home decor store.

    Running a kennel would be awesome. I would also like to have a gift basket business and sell crafts.

    I would love to invent, and then if anyone else was interested sell, the perfect bra.

    I'm not sure whether the bra itself is the problem or whether it's thinner clothing that is the problem, but I would love to create a bra that is both functional and attractive but most importantly one that is virtually invisible under clothing.

    I am currently doing surgery on items that I already own in order to make my prototye and to save on shoe leather from hunting in vain for this elusive item.

    This idea is something that started from a joke made by DH and is quickly developing into reality...

    If I lived in the city, I'd like to start an animal based bussiness. I would also love to have an art gallery.

    A party business. One where I'd plan, decorate, do the games, prizes, etc. food would be extra. ( I actually thought about doing this at one time)

    Otherwise. . . . . I'd do some sort of herbal based business.

    I'd love to be a personal shopper for people. I'd also like to own my own B & B someday.
