@Geoduck – if you want to go into business for yourself, then you need to look at your motivation levels. I know I would be a disaster at anything involving self employment, because I would never motivate myself to do anthing. I need external motivation if I am to function in a job. I have done costume sewing for dancers on the odd occasion, but have found I tend to leave everything until the last minute and then stress myself into dermatitis, headaches, and mouth ulcers trying to get it all finished in time. Not good!! If you are okay at getting yourself going, then self employment might be good for you. There are things about it that I know I would enjoy, and that would suit my lifestyle (flexible hours being the biggest incentive), but I also have to be realistic about my failings. So think about what business you would be doing, and look back on whether you have done similar things in the past, and look at how successful you were. Do you think ADHD issue will come into play in your business? Can you make up for those issues by hiring a secretary, or making yourself accountable to someone, or by environmental organisation? If you can make it work, then go for it. I would be fine if I could go into business with someone else, and have them with me to keep me on track.
