I recently opened small business from my own home, I had a mild nervous breakdown last year after being an executive for a major company for twelve years. The pressure got to me and I was unable to keep up with the workload that was being given to me. As a result, I quit my career and took some time off. However, I knew my funds would not last and I needed to invest in a business I could do that would not be overly stressful on me.

I decided to give a try at opening my business, our service is making candles . It is a small business, I only have a couple of employees beneath me, and it has turned out to be a godsend. I’m making enough money to support myself and my wife, but I am not so overstressed that I feel every time I work I may have a panic attack. I’m so glad I decided to make the change.
