is rewarding and a huge pain in the balls, not particularly in that order.

Remember, owning a business is about running a business. A lot of people think by owning a business they'll be able to spend more time working with their technical skill set or their area of expertise. The opposite becomes true. To be successful, plan out every step of the process - franchises are successful because they've documented the entire steps - the physical presentation, the predictability of the end product (think companies like McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts), etc. Nothing is left to improvisation. Read "The E Myth". This is perhaps the most eye opening book about business ownership out there. http://www.amazon.com/E-Myth-Revisit.../dp/0887307280
