I really want to get off of the job and be my own boss,but I've got no idea on were to start,or let along what business to get into that I could see immediate results. I do have an interest in music, I'm acutally a producer, I would like to run my own studio but of course I don't have the money. I thought about maybe getting a grant,but I'm not sure what the qualifications are. And I don't think my credit is good enough for a small business loan. Anyway, if anyone out there has any great ideas on how and what business I could get into,or maybe even how I could go about getting a studio off the ground please let me know. Thanks!!

Start off with a business plan. You can get the forms from your local library. The problem that I see in your question is the expression "that I could see immediate results." That's not going to happen and I am not saying that to be mean. Businesses take months and even years to get to a break even point. Start out with expert advice from an organization like the SBA or Score. Listen to what they have to say and move from there. The studio is a great idea but make sure you have the market to make it worthwhile. Business ventures are debts until they turn profits so business loans are not handed out easily. You'll need to prove your repayment ability and that you ideas are valid either for bank or investor backing so concentrate on it. If you don't know exactly what you want to do, you'll have a problem with the business plan but the plan will force you to focus. Don't put off your dream but start to educate yourself TODAY with research. The two sites below can help... FREE of charge:

Who doesn't want to be their own boss? Starting your own business is no easy task. Small businesses don't just run on people who were tired of working in the corporate world. To be a good leader, you must first learn to be a good follower. Learn as much as you can working at your job right now, then when you're more established and have some debts paid off, save up your money (you need a lot of capital to start a business.) Maybe by that time, you will have enough experience in the workplace to know what kind of business you want to go in.

Complicated question. I'll tell you what I do online as an example.
I resell web hosting and domains on the internet. It's a very competitive market, but easy to promote. I currently make enough to support myself, wife and son comfortably.
Like anything else worthwhile though it takes time and a lot of work. You have to promote your business and keep at it.
Here's the link for the reseller program

Don't expect immediate amazing results with any business you may start. If it sounds to good to be true it probably is. Web hosting and domain sales is as basic as you can get on the net and a great place to start. Good luck!

I've started several businesses, though not detailing. The question of success is much more related to quality and service than gender. Run a good service, manage well, and your gender can be a benefit. Women are frequently more reliable managers than men. Good luck!

Well, why not start a home based business, with a company that already exists, earn money, and start your own studio that way. I have a business opportunity if that may interest you!

This is a legit way to make extra cash,it doesn't cost you anything,and
I believe you only have to be 13 as well.You get paid to take online
surveys,and its good money,plus you get money from referrals,20% of
what they make, and 10% of what the referral's referral makes.I joined
in Oct.,and earned $234 in October alone.The best part is, they mail
you a check the beginning of every month.It takes around 30 sec.
to sign up.
