The Self-Employed Business Thread

My brother and I own a wholesale distribution business specialising in hospitality and janitorial supplies. Being a business owner has great responsibilities but also great rewards. There is alot of behind the scenes work to do.

If you don't mind me asking how was starting up the business? Would you consider it the hardest part?

If you have graphic design or web skills then you can pretty much start your own business with tools you probably already have at your disposal - only finding work would cause you start-up pain. I do work on the side, in addition to my full time position - i'd never give up the full time because of the constant income. There's times when i earn more (and do less to get it) doing freelance than my 'main' job, but it isn't always the case.
