I would like to do gift baskets full time, day care for a few kids and graphic design. I hate my current job and I'm ready to ditch it, but I know I can't do that just yet. Help!

Wow, one thing at a time please? lol. It most certainly is a good idea to start your own business, but you definitely have to take a lot of factors into consideration. Can you do without the security of a regular paying job? Can you multitask? Manage your finances, marketing, "operations", etc... all by yourself? Or can you afford to hire someone to do it for you? Also, do you seriously think U can manage a day care center, gift baskets and graphic design all at the same time? If the answer to all the above questions is yes, then yep, you should go ahead and venture into the world of being your own boss. Don't let me scare you off the path of self reliance, I just feel you need to give it a really good thought before you decide to jump into it. Also about starting all three things at once? Don't you think its like biting off more than you can chew? If I were you I'd take things one step at a time. Do some market research, find out if there is a good demand for gift baskets, of if there are a lot of busy parents around who'd want to leave their kids with you, or if you can find enough clients for your graphic designing services. Only then should you consider leaving your job. Once you have decided that you do want to leave your job and that whatever venture you have decided to pursue is financially viable, you can seek help from various small business associations to help you get your feet on the ground. One good site to look for them is www.entrepreneur.com. I hope that helped you.
