Hello Friends,

I am a 40 year old guy working as a manager in a software industry and making a decent living. With my current income, I can afford very good lifestyle. With that being said, I have the longing desire to start my own business. The thought of starting a business is killing me and I really want to try to start something without leaving my current job.

I started my own consulting firm back in 2008 but due to the recession, I didn't survive and went back to work.

Recently, I came across amazon Private labeling business idea. I have been surfing internet and listening to many podcasts and learning as much as i can. I am getting very mixed review about jumping into this business.

My goal for next 6-10 months is to start small and make little money (as i don't need any money to survive). After that:I am hoping to invest big and make decent profit. I will be utilizing necessary software (virtual launch, inventory management, rebate, etc...) to make my life as much easy as i can.

Do you guys think its a good idea for a guy like me to jump into Amazon private labeling or thinkg about something else? I just want your honest opinion......

Let me know if you need any further information from me.... thank you

-Rk
