How many times have you heard someone say, “I want to start a business, but I do not know where to start,” or how many times have you said this?
When it comes to entrepreneurship, the fear of not knowing where to start stops a lot of individuals from becoming successful entrepreneurs. I want this to be the last thing that prevents you from having the lifestyle that you dream of.
Here are 5 questions that you should be able to answer before you start a business:
What is my business’s mission/purpose?
What products or services will my business offer? (be specific)
Which business structure is best for my business? (e.g., LLC, partnership, etc.)
What services or supplies will I need to start my business? (research)
How much money can I invest in starting my business?
