5. Is it good to have your own company? Is it profitable? Is this a lucrative occupation?
If it gives joy, happiness and a sense of accomplishment - of course it is worth it. If it is a burden and a problem that generates only stress - it is not worth it. In my case set up my business was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

8. What is the most important thing in running a business?
The most imporant is to know the market and customers' needs. This two things and your own idea and stubbornness in pursuing the goal.

10. What would you advise people who would like to start a business?
Do not give up, listen to the hints, but always have your own opinion. There are no problems to solve. We are able to deal with everything. Plan well the entire implementation process, learn and act. If you want, you can do everything!
