How to start a business
It made me
satisfied
 "easy, if you know what you want to do"
How I did it: I decided to start my business last year after making and giving away many scrapbooks. I thought that rather than spend tons of money and time on things that I give away, I should be making some money from my hobby. So now the next step is to actually make some money. I've started, but I don't know what to do next. Help! Resources: I built my website using www.homestead.com and started a newsletter using www.mailchimp.com.

How I did it: I own a small telecommunications shop in northern Virginia. We install Data cabling and fiber optic wiring. It's a lot of hard work and a lot of mundane crap to deal with on a daily basis. But its well worth it. It's still small and It's still just me working in it but I make enough money to live off of it pretty comfortably.

It's all in the name.
3 weeks ago
I “started” my business years ago, while still in high school. I had a name, and I had an idea. The idea fell through, but I held onto the name all this time, and now I’ve been inspired to make it into a legitimate business. Due to circumstances, I won’t be able to do this right away, but it is officially on the backburners now.

My copy of quickbooks arrived today.
Yeah, now I can start learning how to use it.
I can enter all the things I’ve been spending money on – hopefully, I’ll start seeing lots of money flowing in too.
I have an idea

I have a pretty solid idea for a business. The only problem is I don’t know much about running one. Thats okay, it’s only a minor set back. I do plan to work on my idea still, perfect my strategy, and read some books that will help me. Let’s get this thing going!

Wow!

It’s been nearly a year since I did my marketing survey!!!!
I’ve been paralized by indecision.
Wow. It’s crazy how being busy with work and thinking too much wastes time.
I’ve made a decision to move ahead with an initial service offering and I will grow from there.
I will not get side tracked by having the perfect website or anything like that – I will be operational within six weeks!

Start a business that will help pay the bills
1 month ago
After the Army, I spent the next few years working every single day. In two years alone, I had less than 5 days off and most days were 10+ hour days.
After tripling her business in under 90 days, I realized I had something to offer.
I want to start a business not to become rich or famous but to help others and pay my bills. I would also like to work a bit less than 7 days a week and a lot less than 100 hours a week.
