Answer Well, I looked at the questionnaire -- the challenge with that is that it is so open ended and you kept some of your answers vague -- like what kind of car do you want -- anything -- so does that mean you want a 1981 car with 200,000 miles on it that is falling apart -- no you want a car that runs. So you see you must be more specific.
a) your answer to running your own business -- was something like -- can't imagine that but b) you prefer to work alone -- so I'd suggest
!) Get some contract work and work as an independent contractor -- google independent contractor gigs in your country or look up some examples on linked in. Or these links on wikipedia etc. Independent contractor -

2) You may want to work for a small business or one with a virtual office so you can work remotely -- or from your own home. Check out the Small Business Development Centers (or if you are not in the USA -- check out any small business advisory your country or privince has from the government for resources.
3) You actually sound like a good right hand person or partner to someone who owns their own business a) they let yuo run with what you are good at b) they are there to run the business and c) you enjoy your time off etc.
So you may also want to look at the concept of life visioning and look at your lifestyle -- get a life not just a job too -- look at his free chapter from my new book at: http://tinyurl.com/visionboardamazon ENJOY
