Own Your Own Business? June 19, 2014

Have you ever thought of owning your own business?  Here are some thoughts from Aki, a student from Japan, who has a bit of experience in the field of cosmetology.  (Her ESL teacher has checked her spelling, grammar, and punctuation and has offered corrections with light editing):

“Do you want to own a business?  Why or why not?”

I’m a [waxing esthetician].  My business is to do waxing.

And my answer is, “Yes!”  The reason for my choice is also [the reason that] I came to New York.

At first, I was just interested in waxing.  I thought that if I could do waxing myself.  It’s very convenient and it might save money!

And then, I got a Japanese waxing license.  Waxing needs technical skills; however, the licensing exam was too short and easy.  I didn’t learn the details of the [procedure].  I was afraid to strip customers’ skin; human skin is very thin and delicate.

So I would like to [get accurate] knowledge and broaden it in Japan.  I want customers to feel relaxed [with my work].  I would like to try running my own business.
