Adducent, the problem with a kiosk is that it would be too small but at the same time it maybe something to start off with. Thanks for the lengthy advice.

I think in your situation (still finishing your degree); it would be best to focus on finishing up your degree ... AND try to save up some capital.

You're not in a situation where you need to make a quick decision because you want (or need) whats known as a "first movers advantage". If you really have the 'itch' to do something and need to 'scratch' it; do it on a small scale with little (if any) financial exposure. Use that experience (good or bad) as one to learn from ... real world experience will complement your studies for your degree.

I have a business plan written up for 2 years to start, just to get things off the ground. I'm going to try and make an appointment to see a local SCORE counselor soon.

Miyoshi, all of the positve affirmations won't make you successful. For that, you need passion and hard work, or just plain dumb luck. You're yound, and you obviously already have the passion, so you're further along than most .... but....

You note that you are about to get your degree in business but you're not good at accounting and finance (aka business). You need to rethink your path. Without some sense of business, you've either got to have great timing or great luck, or experience. You have no experience and you know the economy sucks right now, so if you don't have a product that is just plain "hot", you'd better not set up "brick and mortar" for a while.

Don't give up on your passion, and continue to work hard, (Gary player once noted "it seems the harder I work, the luckier I get") but work with the internet for a while. Gather some momentum. Learn how to use the internet as a marketing tool and how to get yourself and your product to stand out. The continued education will be invaluable, and far less costly than setting up shop.

Best of Luck

Decide what you want to do and get a job in that business.
Learn the ropes while you work on paying you student loan.
Then when you are ready you will know the business inside out.
Do not start a business of you own owing big money or borrowing money to start your business.

Hi,I have an opportunity for you for a consideration if yes get back to harishmanek2006@yahoo.com

Look into sharing space. Start small, work your way up. As always you should have experience in the area that you would like to start. Like the other response SCORE is a great place to start with a objective opinion.

Some consider now a great time to start. Lots of help out their.

Good Luck..
