Starting a company

[Ashley K.]

For a long time I've always wanted to start my own graphic design company. I started to think about why I wanted to do it and my mind drew a blank. I didn't have a purpose to start the company or what the company would mean. So right now besides drawing, I'm also trying to figure out what kind of company I should try and start. Anyone else feel the same way?

I'm thinking about starting something non-profit if I have more spare time in the near future.

Yeah, I have this thoughts right now. My plan is to learn website programming and start as freelancer. I do this to be my own boss and be financially independent. At first I wanted to start company too, but I don't think I will handle something big, so I start small with freelancing.

Do you have any more thoughts on your mind, regarding your company?

I would love to start a company, I just don't know where to start! What kind of company? What skills do I have that I can use? Tons of questions at the moment, but it sounds like something I could both do succesfully and enjoy!

This is something I am trying to do too. My goal is it to become wealthy and independent enough to leave my current country and go somewhere warmer.

I feel the same way. I've been thinking of opening a store in the beverage business (coffee shop or Juice Bar), I've even envisioned its values and target audience. I've also thought about building a youth hostel. But I'm broke and I have no idea if any bank would lend money to someone like me (foreigner with no practical experience in enterpreneurship).

I've also thought about becoming a writer and a musician. In Brazil would be tough to live from music, but in Japan I can see myself making a living out of it. Also, I'd like to have a source of income online, perhaps with a personal brand. That may become my first step in enterpreneurship, since it is the one that require less investment, financially speaking.

Look into it. Whether you get approved or not, at least you know instead of making decisions based on speculation.
