Poster: Mr. Businessman. Made the best advice EVER!

You dun start a business because you got the skills to start a business... stay in the industry and spot opportunities ie: missing services/products discuss the lack of such programs with experienced workers before you take the risk.

If you really want to start a business, move into sales/marketing, after all business is all about sales; selling stuff... Marketing depending on job scope may not be that important for small start ups.

If you really want, but cant step into the sales force, try moving to sales support, over there you can learn how to follow up on customer's inquiries, issue invoices, payment/import/deliverable terms etc etc

Meanwhile try to network people for future collaboration, like what kind of business you plan to setup? Internet? F&B? Retail? Trade? etc etc

Or actually just stay on a LAE, the pay is not bad
