Ahhhhhh, dammit, can I have two?

I guess if I had to choose just one it would be something in the computer field, maybe a web hosting or a website design company, as to why, well, because I love working with computers and computer networks.

...... And if I could have two companies I would also own a Garage/Speed Shop, because I love working on cars, mmmmmmmmmm, speed, you start with the basic bolt-ons(ie exhaust, CAI, ud pulleys, e-fan) then you move onto forced induction (ie supercharger, turbos, NOS), then of course to handle all that extra power you'll need a new high performance tranny, rear end, lightweight driveshaft, ok, so this list could go on and on and on, so I'll stop now.

My business would be the newspaper I work for. I like letting the Hispanic community know of local & national news, local events, education news, health news, etc...

I have been there for almost 6 years now. And it gives me great satisfaction that Hispanics and non Hispanics are getting use of our newspaper. I know that if anything happens to my boss I would try my best to let the newspaper keep going. And of course along with the newspaper goes our website. So there would be two jobs (like Eric said).

I'm already in the process of accomplishing this goal with my biz networking community and myadsnow.com, which will be up and runing on or about August 15th. I just hate traffic. I have to commute during those god for saken hours where it seems everyone is on the road. I would also like my business to proide me with some passive and residual income so that i can go out there and enjoy life.

I've always been in sales and it works for me. So, there you have it: A home based sales business with passive residual income opportunities.

Sounds good to me, where do I sign up, seriously, if I could work from home(single and no kids yet, yay) my days would be great

Dont leave your daytime yet...

As for me, just my present line, but on my own: A network security niche job... legally penetrating networks, especially newly established ones, to test their security levels to be what the particular network designers/builders/administrators/owners tout it to be: impenetrable.

There is nothing like the feeling of proving someone their network is not as hot as they think and pointing to each individual failure/weakness/gap... legally (it is called Ethical Hacking and/or Deep network security penetration and analisys).

I'm in the process of starting my own event planning business. Right now, I plan corporate events for the company I work for so rarely am I able to bring any creative ideas when planning for them. I love to plan and coordinate events like baby showers, weddings, parties, whatever. I love doing it because it brings out my creative side and plus, it's fun even though it can become hectic sometimes.

My fiance and I looked at weding venues and I think we were sticker shocked. As soon as you say wedding, Cha ching should go along with it. That's an awesome dream/business. When you're passionate about something, it shows.
