I am an Oracle DBA by profession, having worked in the field for the
last 6 years. But inside I want to startup a business of my own. I am
accumulating principal for the same, but without knowing how much I?ll
need or what business I?m going to do!

The only skills that I have are:
1) Skills to understand and solve complex technical software problems
2) Being able to build a good rapport with people, due to my honesty
and genuine love of life
3) Meticulous Planning
4) Boldness to try out anything new

I have no financial background or management experience. I feel I have
a little bit of leadership skills.

I'd like you friends to suggest what business I could think of
researching or venturing into and how I can go about starting it
within a span of 12 months.

Thanks 
Best regards
Amit
