    What are your skills?
    What are your strengths and weaknesses?
    Would you need a salary out of the business (ie - are you currently employed)?

    Yes i am currently employed in the construction business (co-owner). However i wanna get out as i do not see a future with my current partner. So i have saved up for the last two years and wanna go out on my own. I understand that the answer to my question can have a variety of answers. Thats just the problem! Im struggling to find the ONE thing to put my money into, too many ideas, not one final decision!

    Beware the paralysis of analysis.

    There comes a point where you just have to commit. It can be quite a leap of faith though, no matter how good your research.

    To make the right decision is not always that easy and what your heart tells you and what your mind tells you are in may instances completely different.
    What I would like to suggest is that you seek advice before you decide. There are millions you can do, but which is the right one to tackle.
    I sent you a private mail and you are welcome to chat to me. I might be able to assist you with this.

    hmmm, stay with your job and wait a couple of weeks and put it in some nice shares, psg, sab, a supermarket or two, suger, mtn or vodacom, maybe a little in a bank, fnb or absa

    unless you have a good business plan, you'll be playing with your money...why not keep the day job and risk a little?
