I didn’t realize that February was National Start a Business Month, but LegalZoom.com did. To celebrate they surveyed 1001 Americans at random to learn about their dreams of financial freedom. The results are interesting:

The Perfect Business

• When asked what their perfect business would be, the most popular response (20% of the survey) was to own a restaurant or bar.
• The self-employed professional consultant, such as an architect or accountant, is the next most desired business start-up option (getting 12% of the vote).

Great Idea!

• Nearly one in ten people surveyed still dream of marketing their own invention.

All in the Family

• As for ownership, nearly all, 88%, of the survey respondents plan on keeping their business in the family; as a sole-proprietorship,

husband and wife team, or with grown children.

I love made up holidays. There’s something uniquely American about celebrating holidays that were created purely to sell products.
