How I did it: It took me a while to actually get this done. I had been thinking about starting my own business to help launch other folks' businesses. I finally did it.

1) I decided what type of business I wanted.

2) I looked through the dictionary and brainstormed about a possible name that I felt was versatile enough to use.

3) I contacted the Company Corporation, paid $325 and got my LLC.

4) I applied for my business license online.

5) I hired a freelancer to do my logo and business cards.

6) I researched the web and found out that I could set up my own website with wordpress and a versatile template from graphpaperpress.com.

I set up my website and got two clients. You can be number three: www.residuemarketing.com.

Lessons & tips: Stay focused and encouraged. Don't underestimate your ability to do things on your own, but don't feel like you can never ask for help.
