Pursuing Your Interests
The most important part of owning your own business is entering into an arena that you’re passionate about. Most people look into home businesses for moms because they have had enough of their 9 to 5 office job. For this reason, being self employed will be a lot more enjoyable if you can work in a sector where your interests and passions reside. But excited new entrepreneurs should also realize that you have to enter into a business with pragmatism as well.
It’s great to be passionate about something, but if there’s no discernable market for your passion, there’s no point in leaving the comfort and stability of your day job. If your only goal is to turn a profit, you may or may not make money. But if you pursue something you really love, you’re more likely to stick it out until you start seeing those always important profits.

This is so true. Without a love for our profession, we might be easily tempted away from the hours of hard work that it takes to get a real business off the ground.
