I am seriously considering starting my own business by opening a tropical fish store. It has been a hobby of mine for many years and I am very knowledgeable and I am passionate about the hobby. How should I begin?

Hello, Cher - I probably don´t fit your standard mold. I´m 67, currently working in a full time job which I don´t think is particularly secure. I´ve worked for 30+ years in the IT field as a software developer, and, now for 10+ years as a project manager. Most of this time was as a contractor. I don´t have any emotional issues about age discrimination, no self-confidence issues. The job boards work fine for finding contract jobs, and even in this bad economy I´ve gotten interviews. I figure it takes about 10 interviews to get one contract job. What I am is just damned tired of going through this process once or twice a year. I would really like to start my own business and get some independence and control (and some enjoyment). Any suggestions here? I don´t have a lot of money to invest in this, or time I´ve got a 10 and 15 year old who keep me busy. But, I´ve got a lot of motivation, and can make the time. Thanks for any suggestions. Also, I assume this is confidential

Lack of advocacy for federal aid to the self employed unemployed and Contract workers? There have to be many, as more companies hired contract workers to cut cost through the last 10 or so years. Even if they had self-insured themselves, the pay out would be very limited in time. Down and out (for the while) entrepreneurs, the driving force of our economy, does not get the slightest consideration? Where is our 1099´ers voice on that issue, or maybe they do not require any financial assistance to get through this. We are instrumental in getting the economy running again? This might be a great topic to take up? I would welcome any comments you may have. This is a great site, - thank you.
