There was a time that I thought of having a business when I was at the University. I got some money and began to sell clothes.
Luckily for me, I got a space where I can sell clothes every evening but I have to transport myself with a reasonable amount of money.
At some point, I was not making up for my transport fare and it was becoming more stressful each day. I had to stop.

I can't say that I have had a business of my own before but I have helped people with there business before. And the most stressful of them all is when I was hawking drugs for a company. I did it for only three days and I stopped it.

You are very right does people hawk drugs for company can trek a very long distance before they can make one sale

On a normal day, where I can not trek to. During the hawking I trekked more than where my limit reached and also I became slim in just the few days that I did the work. The worst part is that I did not make enough sales which make me to be discouraged

When we still have our family business, I was so stressed out and tired of asking the clients to pay their items purchased from us. It is tiring because I need to travel in far distance.

I started general store business few years before but instead of getting sufficient knowledge about it I just start so after few months the problems started to appear as people were asking about items and I don't have that this increased my stress level so much and finally I decided to close it.

The most difficult was selling clothes online. Only a few people would buy from me because my market was geared toward women. Furthermore, I didn't have much capital at the time, so I only had a few clothes to sell.

I haven't done any business but yes selling anything online or offline is tough and so stressful at times as you don't know what user will ask and how they will answer your questions and then you need to convince them so you can sell and earn

I personally haven't owned a business of my own but I have worked as a supplier for my mom, it was more demanding than I expected , the stress in the business is not really physical but mentally, maintaining good relationship will all customers is more tasking for me given for my nature.

Managing a business is always stressful as you need to look for the expansion and need to take care of so many things, employees safety, salary, growth, raw material suppliers and even competitors so its not easy to manage any business

It will be more stressful if the owner decided to go solo by not employing helping hands in the administrative block, young businesses are more stressful because a lot of things needs to be put in place for it to grow.

Most stresfull is working with small kids. They can easily lost and start crying. One time parent come in school and say his kid didn't come home from school. We frozen instantly but check in cameras. Kid went in opposite direction from home but it went to see granny.

Managing and offline business is a little bit more strenuous but it has it has to do with a lot of experience and calculation.
It deals with a lot of calculation and that is why we need to be very conversant with the way people run the business so that you will make something reasonable

I never owned a business but I feel a hotel business is tough to deal with as daily you have to see new customers and have to keep them happy so that they come again to your hotel.

Hotel business is quite enjoyable and tough at the same time but if you can run the business, it will be very good. It is also risky

Yes it is very profitable and enjoyable as you get a chance to meet new people daily but that involves lot of investment to start it.

It truly involves a lot of investment to start because you need to build an hotel or rent a place for hotel. It requires a lot of capital
