Dear Deviantadvice

I recently lost my job and was given an enormous severence. Now I have the money needed to start my own business and the time to do it. But if this doesn’t work, I don’t know what I’ll do. Should I do this?

MC, I have two words for you: Fuck YES! Seriously. Most people are going to argue that now is the worst time to start a business, but they’re dead wrong and you need to ignore the hell out of them. Sure, your business is going to go slow at first due to our economy, but that’s also going to work towards your advantage since property owners are probably going to be dropping rents like crazy to get businesses in. And then, of course, there will be LOTS of programs opening up soon to get small business back into circulation. So now is THE time to get off your ass and claim your destiny.

However, you need to be careful. It really does depend on what kind of business you’re starting. Don’t be stupid and open up something no one is going to care about (like a church or something). Make sure that the business you’re starting is needed… like a porn shop. Everyone loves a porn shop! And if you do, make sure you cut us a discount. After all, we told you to do it.

50% sounds perfect!
