Now, for the answer to the thread. I am part owner of a franchised distributorship where we go to various businesses and sell snack foods to employees while they are at work. Items we sell are a variety of candies, chocolates, nuts, dried fruits, trail mixes, and jerky. We do not randomly make these visits, we are invited by these businesses to come in, and do so on a regular, scheduled basis.
Is it worth it? Put in lots of long days, lots of weekends too, fixing the trucks, doing the dreaded paperwork, restocking, etc. We set up booths at different events such as our State Fair. Work a lot of extended hours during the many holidays. Not going to get rich by any means, and the assumption that you are your own boss is a falacy. When you are self-employed, EVERY customer and potential customer becomes THE boss.
On the other hand it is very satifying when things are going well and you know you are responsible for that success. Feels great to know you have exceeded what your customers expect and want too.

Started the biz back in August to do designwork & signs part time while I am back in school. It has its slow moments but that is because I do not advertise other than word of mouth as not to get overwhelmed with that and school. But I like it. So if anyone needs designwork done or a sign made up, drop me a line
