Greetings;
First and foremost, are you looking to make money or are you doing this as an enjoyable business venture? You can only pick one, though the other may trail as time goes on, but first pick one of these options.
If you are opting to build the business for money's sake then just keep putting your money into interest bearing bank accounts and you will be nicely compensated for your efforts by the time you retire.
If you are opting to build the business because you enjoy doing electronics, then I say GO FOR IT! As with every entreprenuer that I know, they started a business in the area which was their hobby. After some time they nurtured it and grew it into a nice comfortable business.
They didn't worry about whether it would make money, they had their day job and more importanltly, they we enjoying every minute of what they were doing whether they made a sale that month or not, though they kept a mindful eye on trying to create income.
I have built a few businesses and can vow from first hand knowledge that doing it for primarily money will render you ill with sleepless nights, cashflow problems, stress, relationship problems and headaces.
Also, I swear by this rule of thumb:
The fastest way to kill your dreams and your business is to go into business with a partner. You get half the profits and twice the liabilities!
If by chance you ever do have a partner, make sure to obtain no less than 51% of the business ownership.
Start the business by your self. As you grow you can hire help as needed. Plus, you can always fire bad help, you can never fire a bad partner.
If you are still unsure whether you want to start a business or not, I suggest the reading of the bible of business; THINK AND GROW RICH, by; Napoleon Hill.
They also have free downloads of this book out on the net. If you need a copy please email me and I will forward a PDF version for anyone who wants it.
Best Wishes and I hope you follow your dream! You will regret it if you don't.
