Who here has their own business?

When did you start it and how is it doing?

Sorry to hear. Stuff like this happens even with the closest mates, you know.

I am in two businesses right now. One is with three other friends. The other one is something I am doing on my own as a side-project. It's a financial service kind of deal. My friends and I are hoping to sell the former business to a subsidiary or to another corporation. Well, at least, that was the plan until this market went to a downturn. So, I don't know now. We're all in college still. So, it's difficult.

Best of luck to you on your future ventures....

Yes one of my partners and I were very close, it's okay now that i think about it i'm better off......

He himself left the business and left the last guy there who knows nothing of the industry he's in...

I run a few websites, if that counts as a business. The one thats linked in my sig is the current one, the others arent worth posting here as they arent 100% finished yet. Ive got plans for new businesses but with the financial climate being what it is theyve not so much been put on hold as scaled back.

This past summer, I ran my own lemonade stand.
I was selling glasses of lemonade for a million bucks a cup.
This cranky, elderly man passed my stand and yelled at me.
"A million bucks a pop?!?! What are you, crazy?! You'll never get rich!"
But I whispered to that old geezer, "I only need to sell one cup."

Feh, he was right.
