Question
I’m thinking of starting my own business, but anxious about not having a steady income at this point. Any suggestions?

I think it sounds like a great time to take a risk and try starting your own business. Maybe you can get a part-time job until you get your business off the ground. That way, you know you will have some income coming in.
