Answer 1

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.

Some things you need to consider:
- "How can I support my family while I build up by business?"
- "What are my abilities?"
- "Is there a market for the product or service I have chosen?"
- "How long will it take this business to reach the financial goal I have?"

2. Determine the fit with your market.
3. Right timing is everything
4. Be ready to support your business
5. Develop a blueprint for success (write your business plan)
6. Gather your resources
7. Market, market, market

With regards to business ideas, the best business will depend on what you want, how you define to be interesting. A person may consider a pet sitting business to be the most exciting work in the world, while another person would rather watch TV than take care of dogs.

The key is to determine what your interests are, what you want to do, what is suitable for your lifestyle and your overall goals, and what can fit with your resources.

6. Learn from the successes of others
7. Learn from the failures of others
8. Plan your own success

Answer 2

I don't really think anyone could honestly answer this question without knowing what your strenghts/weaknesses and talents are. I own a design business because I'm good at design. My cousin owns a restaurant because he's an amazing chef. It all depends on what you're good at, so think about what kind of business you want to start and ask yourself if it's something you'd be good at. Then, start digging for information.
