Im sure tha twhen many of you started your own business you were like me and dreamt that one day the business will be ablew to look after itself and you could sit back and enjoy traveelling the world, of course that is still a dream for me.

What dreams did you have when you set up in business.

It's actually pretty funny, because back 4 years ago I had a place that I wanted to be in my mind (financially and location wise) and then half way through it I felt that it was near impossible (though I didn't give up). Now it feels like I'm in that place, right on track.

Where do I want to go? Well I have a certain fiscal level I want to get to by a certain age, but most importantly I want to enjoy everything that I do, and I do endeed enjoy everything.

So basically, lifes a blast, working for yourself is great, just keep your chin up.

I just want my business to work out, and for it to make enough that I can keep it going. I don't want it to look after itself, because I love the work - I just want to be able to continue to do the work

Same pretty much

I want to be able to move abroad, in the sun Not have to work (much) and employ someone else to do the dirty work :P

I've had a lot of dreams, but my biggest one was for my business to be able to support me full-time after college. It's looking as if it will be able to, so I guess I've hit my dream. Now I need to keep dreaming.

My dream is to make a $10,000 to $20,000 off of domains before summer starts. Then use every single penny to hire a great design firm inorder to design my forum software user interface and website.

Then after I'm finished developing my forum software, I want to sell it to enterprise businesses. That's when I'll sit back and hopefully watch the money come to me.

Then after that, I want world, and everything in it.

I had a dream (apologies to MLK) ... and then achieved it. Developed and marketed with 2 other partners a best-selling piece of software a few years back that was licensed by a company that was able to take it to a level of production we never could. We made a fair amount of money in royalties and then got screwed by a huge corp. that ate the original software company for lunch one year.

So, I'm a little gun-shy about trying again. Way too much stress and ups and downs. I like it more mellow and although it was great to see your stuff in Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. (and be on talk radio!), I feel better doing what I'm doing now, which is just cruising along at low speed. Luckily I can afford to do so now and right now am not dependent upon building up my business to survive.

My dream for the future??? Don't know ... want to write the great American novel, but I'm stuck on page 20

I dont like dreams. They insinuate that there is an "end" to all this.
I cant say i want to work, work, work now and in a few years sit back with my feet up.
I think i'll still be working forever, no matter what I am earning.

Because its once you start relaxing that the money stops coming in
