If my own business has nothing to do with sales, I'm pretty sure I won't have monthly sales targets.

But you mentioned "Utility Warehouse" a few posts earlier.

As you are about to become a father again, would it not be better to stay where you are and earn as much as possible for a year or two, then look at your options.

I know, I'm just throwing ideas around really. I've since done more research on them and I've decided against the idea.

Yes that's what I'm going to do. The baby is due in January, so it's probably best if I don't make any huge, life changing decisions for the time being!

Are you serious?
Any self start business is going to need to meet budgets in some shape or form

What about gardening services. They all seem to be really successful with very little outlay. If you did need a big machine maybe you could hire it for the time needed.

What do you think?

Before pulling out your own business, you should take into considerations on what could happen. Make a business plan together with your short and long term goals, also do not forget to include a back up plan to be safe.

Having your own business is really fulfilling - it lets you do what you always wanted to to. But be always mindful of possible things that can happen.
