What would your business be?

I would love to own a retro boutique with 50s style clothes, housewares, rockabilly stuff.

    Dentistry, Gun shop, or any business with lots of interaction. I am business minded, and have lots of experience with decision making, numbers, and people.

    indoor go karting

    though if money was no object, it would probably be running a Safari lodge in Sabi Sands. I love that place

    I had my own television show for a few years here in Arizona. Produced, managed, and marketed it across the southwest. LOVED doing it, but when 9/11 hit we lost a lot of advertisers and such. That was my dream

    Jump forward to me now. If I could make a decent living doing it now I would get back into health and fitness, especially if I could teach kids tennis.

    Is this supposed to be a successful business? If not, then I want to operate a bookshop and kick out anyone who reads the whole book before (or not) buying. I see that crap at Chapters - people lounging in chairs and reading away, never buying what they read.

    Ones I'm working on are making a living commentating over gaming videos and convincing people to give me money for my stories.

    I actually do -- I own a photography business that specialized in lifestyle portraiture and weddings. Only thing I wish I had was a huge loft space with character and huge windows with lots of natural light.

    I would love to own a small boutique. The kind where I personally pick the clothes and stuff. I love clothes. My long term goal/dream once I finish with school and am financially stable is to travel the world volunteering.

    I currently own 2, a small manufacturing company that makes small inspirational and motivational pewter gift items, AND I do permanent Make-up, which is my dream job, after the financial melt down it was hard to make this full time anymore, and now with other other business I don't have time to grow the one I love. Anyone want to buy the Manufacturing company??

    I would like to own a patisserie/cafe in Brighton that had a mini library for guests to choose a book to read whilst they're there and it'd have great authors doing readings in the evening and a full liquor license because all great authors need alcohol. :laugh:

    Let's go in on this together! I want to have a shelter for injured race horses to be rehabilitated and a dog kennel! My dream is to one day own a non-profit rescue!

    I would own a musical instrument shop and sell/rent instruments at a reasonable price ;)

    I would also host a fight club in the basement.
