Taking charge in my business.. maybe.

[Grace360]

So here as I stood at work, my feet killing me. Another cog in the murder machine. Another little sheep in the widespread capitalism that is America.. then I thought. Aha. But what if it didn't have to be that way? I got this job about a week ago. And my feet ache everyday. Its boring. I can't do it. It may make me seem weak, don't care. I can't stand for 5 hours straight per day and have my boss chew me out for sitting down. I can't. I don't care if the commute is low. The good pay. I can't do this. So. I wanna quit my job. I wanna draw up some plans. I want to start my makeup line. But how can I do that with no money? I tell you how. Investors. My mom always said I could scam a beggar out of their last dollar. That so called persuasion is what should help me here. I want to do this so badly. I wanted to wait until I finish highschool or go get a business degree but I can't. I'm gonna teach myself business and get this show on the road. This is my plan. I just had to share it.

Nothing wrong with that. Learn business, and you'll surely need to research patents, trademarks, hire a business attorney, etc eventually. All things to consider. I'd recommend sticking with your current job for a while though, just in case things don't work out.

I really just wanted to quit this job because my feet kill me one hour into my shift and then I have to power through another 4. Its uncomfy.

That's just part of working, it's not usually going to be comfortable. Whether you're sitting or standing, lifting things, bending repeatedly, etc. You get used to it after a while and it's no longer uncomfortable.

I have had my own business with one employee for going on 21 years and I would advise against it.

Anything is possible but one has to put the gray matter to work. If you are going to have your own business it means not quitting when the going gets tough. It means doing whatever it takes no matter what. These qualities are learned over time. A five hour shift on your feet is nothing compared to developing and running your own business. Dreams are good, but they must be tempered with reality. The first step is to get a good pair of shoes.
