Your Own

For those of you who own your own business, what was the defining moment that made you start?
Also, how did you determine the type of business that you wanted to open? What sort of start-up costs did you encounter? How long until your business started returning a profit? Are you better off now after starting your own business? Any tips you’d care to share?
