Neither. Start thinking about your business's future today.
That is per the Government Printing Office Style Manual. If the singular ends in "s", you still add apostrophe + s to form the possesive, which is the case here.
Some modern Style Manuals will say to add just the apostrophe to the singular.

You are wanting to indicate the possessive case of the noun "business" Only an apostrophe is added to a word which ends with an s. So in this case your sentence would be written as follows:
Start thinking about your business' future today.
The only types of words that end with an s where you would write the word and then an 's is if the word is a proper noun with only one syllable (such as Santa Claus's reindeer or Keats's pencils).

i'm no longer an English Grammar expert, so i could think of you will could desire to teach possession? that would require the apostrophe after the be conscious? call up a librarian or a school and talk with an English professor.
