Pleased to meet you I am Craig C.E.O of C & C Construction in Indiana.
You need to be willing to make starting your own business top priority. No breaks, excuses or time clock.
I would recomend that you decide what type of business you want and then work for someone for at least 2 years before you "Jump Out there"
Once you do start your own business you need to save for the lean times and NOT SPEND ALL YOUR PROFITS!
I mean really buckel down and only spend the least you can because if you dont you'll find out why 50 per cent of new business's fail.
Not being married or have kids helps sorry to say.
also a patnership sucks.......
sole propriertership is the only way for me....Then you don't have to split it with anybody! (Wink)

You need to get more specific. Begin by asking yourself these questions:
1. Why do I want my own business?
2. What can I get from a business that I can't get from a job?
3. What kind of business would I like to have?
4. Do I want to work from home or have an office?
5. Do I want part time or full time?
6. Do I have money to invest or am I short of cash?
7. Will I be alone or in a team?
These are important questions. Without previous business experience and an understanding of the Laws of Successful Achievement, the road will be long and steep, most likely ending in failure. Surround yourself with a team of experts who can help you move in the right direction.
Before getting into business just to make some money, you might like to avoid the same mistakes that all failures make.
Know the true purpose of a business.
Most people (those who fail) think the purpose of a business is to make money or make a profit.
No. The purpose of a business is to help and add value to others.
The more you do that, the more success you will have.
A desire to serve others will be at the centre of your business success.
I hope this is a starting point.
Warmly,
Slav

what kind of business? first thing is to know what u like to do? what do u enjoy so much more than anything else? then go and talk to people in that kind of business and don't forget to study and/or be a protoge for someone in the type of business u'r interested in.
theres so much more than just saying ok i want my own business. there are classes in college, many, many books on the nuts and bolts of businesses. last but not least, most start ups require a lot of start-up money.
oh yeah, this is a biggy- set goals all the way through even if they change, they'll change a lot as u go along. but write them down, read them to u'r self, look at them every day. so u always know where u'r headed.
another thing, when u start down the road to having u'r own bus.it will put u into a soul searching experience because u'll have to pull everything u got (mind,body,soul) to get there.
there are some businesses that don't cost a lot of money but still pay well. good luck

its called entrepreneurship which is an practice where an individual creates a new organization possibly a new business and syndication which is a loan from a group of bankers trying to provide the funds of the borrower. so thats how a business starts and plus a good education. and stock smarts.

Buying a business is expensive and risky.
Starting your own can be the best option.
Here is a way for you to build your contact list,
avertise your services or product and create

Being part of this network means that there are
others who will immediately see your ads.
The best thing is that you learn as you go for
zero dollars.

figure for at least 6 months each. rent. utilities. advertising. inventory. plus the cost of set up and equipment. and then your pay for 6 months. Depending on the business and how successful you want it to be and how much inventory if any $100,000 for your salary plus the cost of doing business. And that's being conservative.
