In order to accomplish this I have to graduate with my business degree, find a stable job, and invest in a small business. There will be many obstacles like I would get stressed with school, I may not be able to find a job, I may not have money to invest. In order to overcome this challenges I can have a schedule with my school work, I can get internships in order to have more experience and be able to have a higher chance of getting a job and for the small business I can take out a loan to invest. My life will be a simple life in a simple house with a simple car. When I reach my goal of starting a small business, I will feel a overwhelming and joyous feeling when I accomplish my goals.
