  • I'll start:



    We launched WIM about a year ago (although it seems like 10) and yeah, I see myself doing this for a while, given I can keep myself from totally losing my mind to the stress

  • I've been in the IT industry for many years, but my business for nearly one. I could see myself doing this (SEO) for years to come or some form of it. I think this is something that'll carry on through time.

    I just have to keep up with technology, changing algorithms, and all that jazz

  • I stated my business June 2007 and I find I love it. Juggling all aspects of running a business is right up my alley. Now, I just need to figure out how to balance time for my girls with the time I spend in front of the computer. I constantly think of things I want to do for the business that it is hard to just add it to the growing list of things to work on later so I can sit and play now.

  • I started my business in September 2007 and am still in the growing stages. I do envision doing it for a long time... possibly my entire life. It makes me happy and provides a sturdy financial incentive, so why the heck not? That said, it can be stressful, especially now while I am growing. There are days that make me want to bury my head in the sand and say enough already!

  • I've been in the career advising field for over 10 years, 5 of it in my own business. I'm enjoying the opportunity to grow it at my own pace and planning to continue to build it for the long term.

  • I just started my hand crafted jewelry business in December 2007 & I will be doing this for the rest of my natural life!



    This is my stress relief & my therapy! I love having a creative outlet that makes people feel special! I cannot wait to teach my daughter some day!

  • I've been in internet marketing for about 7 years now. I find I frequently fall into the trap of moving from one thing to another. There are just so many options out there, and people can write RRRR good sales copy. lol.



    Anyway, I found a new business a few months ago that had everything I was looking for. I am really enjoying myself, and I'm keeping an eye on myself so I don't drift, but stay on track.



    This is something I can truly see doing for a long time.

  • I started my online biz in Oct '07 and I am loving it! It is hard, hard work and I am juggling it together with 4 kids and a very limited budget!



    I have all kinds of ideas, dreams and paths that I want to take it in....so I am constantly excited and see myself doing this for a long, long time!!

  • I have had my design/promotional products business for 17 years. (www.cre8tiv.biz)

    And a year ago started an online adoption gift shop ( www.ManyHeartsOneBeat.com )which is where my passion is - it is a very rewarding endeavor as many of my customers share a piece of their adoption story with me and let me know how the gifts they purchase touch those who have been a part of their journey. My goal is to reach more and more families touched by adoption and can see this becoming my core business - I would love to do this for many years to come!

  • I started my onlline site 4kidzpartyz a personalized party favor and gift business in November of 2007.( www.4kidzpartyz.com ) I wanted to work from home so I could stay home with my new baby and it is the best decision I could've made. I really enjoy it and I can see myself doing this for a very long time because I get alot of joy from hearing people commenting on how much they and their guests liked the party favors I made for them.
