The problem is that I only get around 15-20hrs a week of work (I would work more if I could!) so business has been slow.

I want to get into another industry but I am just not sure what kind. The mobile bodyshop sounds interesting, shootdeep, and I was actually considering it as my dad is a car dealer and has loads of connections to other dealers. Except I was thinking more of a mobile ' paintless dent removal' business, so no paint work.

I am also considering getting into personal training and opening my own PT/nutrition consulting business after I work for a gym and get some experience and build some clientelle.....

So many possibilities I am having trouble deciding what I want to focus on!

The absolute KEY to owning your own business, is building something that you can walk away from and still earn income. You need to build a business built upon a system. That way you can walk away from your business with passive income and then turn you focus onto another project.

Real Estate investment in a way is very much like that as well.
