What makes a person want to start their own business?  Is it a desire for Wealth? Freedom? Control?  The answer is yes to all of those things. Are you the right type of person to run your own company? Are you self motivated, able to make tough decisions, think clearly using logic and not emotions?  These are some of the base character traits needed for a successful business owner. Once you have determined you have what it takes, you need to decide what kind of business you want to start.
