If you had $50,000 to build your own business, what would you do?

"If I had 50,000 to build my own business, I would open a community center in my neighborhood that offered inexpensive childcare, cooking classes, and other life skills programs. I am passionate about volunteering and see a strong need in those areas."

"I would choose to invest the 50,000 into an existing business in an industry in which my spouse is interested. I love what I do for a career, but she has always wanted to be an entrepreneur."
