where do begin, how to start a small business. ideas please?

Answer 1

I suggest you start your business on the internet. I say this because it can be fully automated and can be managed by just one person. Why dont you start by selling information packets, information on a particular thing or service, eg guitar lessons on the web? Add a payment processor to your site and bingo you have a fully automatic ecommerce solution.

Answer 2

Starting a small business takes a lot of courage. But, as they say, courage does not pay the bills. To be successful – to stay in business – you need more than courage. You need a combination of hard work, skill, perseverance, and lots of luck.
