Look at BizBuySell

like

Find something on there that interests you. I've got family that are successful entrepreneurs and they've always told me the things/businesses they were most successful in were things that they found interesting and were passionate about. Things they enjoyed. Look around at different industries. Maybe something will peak your interest. If youre curious about what is successful or not the neat thing about BizBuySell is if you are looking at preexisting businesses you can sign the NDA and get their P&L statements. You'll easily be able to see if a business is successful or not. Everyone is different. While my successful grandparents were successful in one field they may not have been successful where my parents were in owning an accounting business as an example. Some people may be very successful in furniture while others very successful in lawn care. It entirely depends on you. Look at their statements. Have the conversations about what the business is and see if it peaks your interest. Sometimes you just have to go for it!

Hi all,

I am trying to resign from my employer and my offical notice period is of 3 months as per the agreement. The agreement also states that the employment can be terminated by either party with 3 months of notice or monthly gross salary in lieu of notice period.

But my HR says that they can't release me before 3 months and when i told them that its not fair practice then they told me to file a legal case against company.

Can someone suggest what should i do? What choices i am left with?
