The closest I've gotten is my recent foray into freelancing as an editor. I'm not registered, but I don't think I'll be concerned with that, as my income isn't enough to worry about collecting taxes or anything. Not yet at least.
I've always wanted to run my own business or work as a partnership with someone talented. I tend to work better on my own, and I don't like following instructions. I think I was made to be an entrepreneur, except risk is a bit foreign to me.
My problem is I have the know-how, the skills, the talent, but no ideas. My creativity got zapped somewhere along the way, and I'm still figuring out how to reclaim it.
