another story and a kind of how to that I'm thinking about getting published.



I’ve had my share of go nowhere jobs that I knew taking wouldn’t have an option for advancement. I admit that it’s nice to have set hours with a steady hourly pay rate. And in some cases being able to collect benefits and earn vacation days. But I also admit that helping someone else build on their dream isn’t something I’m interested in.
Though my over all want for my career has evolved and broaden to become a complex idea the main goal has remained the same. That goal is to work for myself, to work on my dreams, to set my own hours and to basically answer to myself. I know that I’m not the only one who feels or thinks this way because our country is filled with entrepreneurs.
The following are some of the steps young future business owners will have to follow. Of course requirements and laws may change for each town, city and state.
1.) A business plan.
This is basically a well thought out description of what your business is about. It could also include a list of things you do as your business grows.
For instance:
A. Step one: earn customers through family and friends.
B. Step two: produce a market plan to advertise to the neighbors on your street.
C. Step three: begin advertizing on other neighboring streets.
This kind of plan might be ideal if you were to start a lawn care business or if you had a handmade product that was in high demand.

2.) Location, location, location.
As your business grows and gains popularity you may find yourself paying employees to help you keep up with the growing demand for your services. As the number of your employees grows you may find that you can no longer support the demands of your business from your home and it will become necessary to find a commercial building to move into. When looking for the right building consider where the location is located. You don’t want a location that is heavily populated by similar businesses and it’s important that your location is easily located by your customers.
At this time you also may need to look into a ‘Doing Business As’ or a DBA. This is an official record of your business name and once you get one you can rest assured that no one else will try to use your business name for another business.

3.) Support, Finances, Records.
As some small businesses try to grow they need support in the form of encouraging people around then and in some cases a financial backer.
With luck you already have encouraging family and friends who will praise you as your business succeeds. As well as stand by you as your business fails. Young businesses can go through a rough patch as they try to establish themselves or even fail if the product or service you’re trying to offer is already being marketed to or if no one wants what you’re offering. Don’t give up if this happens, go back and try to remarket yourself or try to come up with something else you can market.
Financial supporters may be hard to find, especially right now. But you may have two sources that you can look into.
A. A bank loan
B. Borrowing from family.
In both cases you may have to sit down and go over your business plan. Banks aren’t in the habit of just handing over money without a good reason.
Finally Records, throughout your business venture it’s extremely important that you keep a clear and understood log of the money you’ve earned and the money you’ve spent. There are all kinds of programs that you can get for your computer that will help you keep electronic logs or you can simply start by getting a notebook or graph paper and keep a detailed ledger.
I hope this has helped you better understand the steps you may have to take to start up your own business. If you do want to start your own business believe in yourself and work towards it you’ll get there.
