Would you take a job of developing business from scratch?

For anyone who owns a large business, what steps can i take to get to my dream job?

• My dream is to one day own a spa resort. I'm not talking about a small business, either. If you want a better idea of what my dream resort looks like, just watch 'Couples Retreat' :] I do realize that it takes a long time and many steps to get to the point of owning a large and successful business. The idea of running a spa resort on an island or beach front, with white sand and blue water and palm trees, where people come from all over to try exotic mud-baths and cucumbers on their eyes for the sake of relaxation, makes me all dreamy-eyed myself. That is what i want to do, but i have many questions as to what to expect for the near and far away future. My first step i have taken is getting ready for school this fall to get my massage therapy certificate. Business classes are included in the program. Is this a good step to take? I don't necessarily want massage therapy to be for the rest of my life; it is just to get an idea of this kind of business. So, if you happen to an owner of a resort getaway (or any kind of large business!) i have to ask; what is it like? What happens in a day in the life of a large business owner? And even more importantly, how did you get to that point? What steps did you take? What would you do differently if you could go back? Did you start your own small business from scratch, or did you buy one from someone else? How much money should i save to help myself reach my goal? Anything you want to add is much appreciated! I'm sure i need to know a lot more than i think :]
