I have a decent job, stable, in tech field, but I want more out of a career than what I have. Maybe getting a new job would fill that need, but I often go back to wanting to start my own business. I'd like to hear from guys/gals who started their own business. How/why did you do it? How did you pick the type, etc..... Anything you can offer would be appreciated.

Hope you like long hours and working weekends The first years I work 80 -100 hrs a week the most was 120 hr week, after three years I burned out. Made good money. The fouth year I went to 70-80 hrs Then found myself working for my men. I was up to 8 workers. In 2005 cut back sold off a bunch of equipment and went down to 2 men. Now starting to get back into the green. I never had to work for someone. I has been self employeed since 18, now 44. I would do it again. Keep in mind you will pay 100 percent of your medical insurance. Also the loan payments come every month.
