    Default What type of Business Owner are you?

    I thought I'd give the poll option a try.

    I voted...as the second option...I could support myself and family at a subsistence level, but not at our present lifestyle...

    I voted for the first option. I figure since I haven't worked for anyone else in years and get all my money from my business, I must be supporting myself from the business.

    I see you managed to get the poll working.

    I voted the first, although I think your results will be off based on the end of the first question. I think almost any business can say "well yea, that's the goal..." regardless of if they are doing it now.

    Dan you're right. That last part was done before I thought of the second option. The Poll only gives you five minutes to do an edit - so it can't be removed.

    Who says you can't edit the poll? All you need to do is look for the invisible 'edit poll' link. It's good to be the king

    All fixed.

    I'll see if I can find on the backend how to give you a little more time to edit your polls.

    I'm part-time, probably for another year. I work full-time for my church conference. The conference exists to help the local churches get group discounts on things like liability insurance, health insurance, etc. We are in the process of merging 4 conferences which will more than likely eliminate my job as of July 1, 2010. It will work well with my plans since I had already intended to be full-time from home by then

    I picked the second option although I'm kinda sorta a blend between #2 and #3. Once my kids are older (I'm guessing in about 10 years) I'll be reaching for #1 - but right now I don't work another job myself and I'd like to be able to support my family in my income but it isn't there yet which means I need to pick option #2. However, my husband does hold an outside job and he is the one whose income we depend on - if it were just up to me I'd have to work another job at least part-time while working my job, so I guess that makes me #3.

    OK, I think I confused myself... off to design work, I know how to do that

    Thanks VG. I thought of asking you to do that, but I didn't want to bug you.

    I'm really number 2 - the withdrawals from my bank account in the last 18 months prevents me from being #1 ... yet. It's certainly the goal to support the family with this income.
