[QUOTE="16kOrBust, post: 10700695, member: 132701"] I had my own business teaching private music lessons (legit business and lessons, unlike a lot of what you see out there in this field...). I started out with a lesson room, then realized I could get a lot more business offering to travel to some students (at appropriate rates, of course), then eventually got strictly into traveling to students. Rent was a couple hundred a month for the lesson room I had near my home. Advertising was pretty cheap, more involving legwork, word of mouth, internet advertising, etc. I did need some equipment for the room when I had it that I had to buy, so say a few hundred there (nothing crazy). Had to buy my own insurance, etc, and that wasn't cheap. The business was actually going really well but surprisingly, I just didn't enjoy it at all. The scheduling was beyond hectic and it was also sucking all of the creative, musical energy out of my life. So when I was offered a good paying, permanent job with full benefits and a schedule I love, I couldn't say no even though it wasn't at all music related. At one point I was in the process of putting an actual music school/store plan together but after seeing how the scheduling and everything was going to be with the lessons and such, I just decided it wasn't what I wanted to be doing long-term.
