Has anyone ever started a business?

Was anyone nervous when they started their own business?

• I am in the process of starting a vending machine business. I have done all the research I could do and feel comfortable launching this type of business. I know that it requires just as much hard work and effort as any other business. Can anyone provide some real life advice (not book knowledge) for starting a small business? I have a Bachelors of Science in Accounting with a minor in Finance and I'm tired of working in corporate america. I would like to start a business that allows me to have a stream of passive income so that I could spend more time enjoying life instead of working all the time. Preferably, I would like people who have experience in small businesses related to what I want to do respond but I will take any advice I can get from any small business owners.

• Answer:

  Very nervous. Still nervous sometimes when I go to work. That never wears off.
