If you love to bake cakes, starting a bakery business is the worst thing you can do. The time available for mixing ingredients, pouring batter, and spreading frosting will be consumed by populating spreadsheets, organizing schedules, studying local food regulations and managing accounts payable. This transfer of inspiration can cause many people to forget why they got into the baking business in the first place. Initially, most business owners start a business so that they can profit from their passion and continue doing what they love. Soon, they realize that the requirements of owning and maintaining a business consume all their free time. The same is true for lighting designers.
