Owning a business is much harder work than working for someone else! Sometimes it also doesn't pay as well. Be prepared to work a lot harder for longer hours than you do as an employee. If you really love what you do, it makes it worthwhile.
My wife and I still put out the garbage and scrub the toilets every night after a ten hour day. We love it! Go for it. Don't let the negative people scare you away. Borrow lots of money and get to work!
