If you are self employed or have your own business, what do you do?

Looking for inspiration and motivation!

..and are you happy?

I built a business from my craft/hobby. I saw a gap in the market for a product which many similar crafters need and identified how I could fill that gap. Researched it thoroughly and now I make and sell this product to other crafters.

I love it.

You are best starting a business in a field that you have a lot of knowledge and experience in. Look to your strengths, be honest, can you motivate yourself to work probably harder than you ever have before and for probably less pay (to start with) and the buck always stops with you. You are the chief cook and bottlewasher!

Bump!!

Boring for me but bookkeeper. I love it . Pays well and I find it easy. I had planned on becoming a virtual assistant but ended up with so many bookkeeping clients I just stuck with what I knew.
