its not that i couldn't, just i have no ideas for one, i keep thinking i will fall asleep and wake up with some great idea in my head. but i am not into trying different things just to say i own my own business. but if i ever do see a door open up or have a chance to pry one open, i dang well sure will do it.

I ran my own subcontracting company for 28 yrs. I installed trim work in new homes. I took a hourly job 4 yrs ago to have more time off. I make a little less money at this job but I seldom work 8 hrs a day. My latest day at work this wk was 1pm. I did well in my business. I like what I do now & will probably retire here. It takes more time & effort to run your own business than it does to work for someone else. Self employment does have its good points. I recommend it to anyone who is self motivated & has the skills to run a business.

Another S-E Painting Contractor here. I've been at it about 11 years now. I'd probably be doing a little better if there weren't so many illegal aliens keeping the prices down--but we're probably not as bad off in that department as AZ.
