Pet Business, What can I do?

Ok so this is my story.
I am 20 years old and am a Full-Time business student at my local community college working part-time at the local grocery store. Everyday all I can think about how great it would be to have a home with extra land to build a dog breeding/training business. I`m to the point where I get depressed because I feel like this is my calling and this is what I would like to do with my life but it seems so un-attainable. I want to have a place like a farm but instead of a farm with cows and horses I want to have it for breeding and bringing/training dogs. I don`t know what kind of money is possible to be made through this type of career but I`m at the point where as long as I could afford a decent home and enjoy life I would be happy. How do I make this un-attainable dream attainable? PLEASE HELP ME!philscott352007-3-24 12:40:26

I give you a lot of "humanity points" for choosing such a career, as working with animals (in general) usually indicates a "good hearted" individual. My favorite dog is the "AKITA" (if I had to choose an alternate: A Labrador Retriever).
Best wishes!

I like your calling. Go for it. It will not happen overnight ... unless, of course, you win a big lottery or something. And even then, I believe you still have a lot of learning ahead of you.
I suggest you read Napoleon Hill`s The Law of Success. Lesson Two is A Definite Chief Aim - You Can Do It If You Believe You Can! When you read the 2-volume set, you will see how the lessons all tie together to make your definite chief aim become a reality.
You believe you have a calling. I believe you. 95% of the people of the world are drifting aimlessly through life, without the slightest conception of the work they are most fitted, and with no conception whatsoever of even the need of such a thing as a definite objective toward which to strive.
You already have a good feeling and "calling" for your definite objective. Now, you need to learn all of the other lessons needed to complete your journey.
You will if you really want to.
Best wishes for a successful journey. Keep us posted.

Can someone help me with a list of steps maybe that I could start off with, as long as I know what I have to do to get to that point I will do anything and everything possible to make sure that this gets started ASAP.
Thanks everyone for your insight and help!
It would not be a bad idea to offer "anytime hours". In other words, make it known that you are available for learning purposes (when you`re not working your regular days/hours).
If you really want it - you`ll get it.
Good luck!

You`ve been given some great advice here in this post. You appear to be seeking a "silver bullet" - there isn`t one. You say you "will do anything and everything possible to make sure that this gets started ASAP" - you have already started!
Patience and determination are all powerful. As Nike says, "Just do it!"
