I’ve decided to harness the collective genius of our readers and ask for your thoughts. After all, what is the internet, if not interactive?

Anyway, I’ve been mulling over the following: am I more likely to succeed with a business in my former field or in something completely new?  On the one hand, using my past experience would help me avoid a steep learning curve. On the other hand, venturing into a whole new area is pretty darn exciting and would keep my interest.

If you have any thoughts or experiences to share on this question, please drop me a line at reluctantmomtrepreneur@jillsalzman.com. I’ll be sure to share what I learn in a future post.
