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.

It's the best and worst of both worlds, but hopefully in the long run i… Read how I did it…

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.

How I did it: I knew I wanted to start my own business from when I was a small child. From the lemonade stands to the baseball card shop and eventually to my "restaurant" (where I served tortellinis and hot dogs) I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I finally got the real kick in the butt during my senior year in high school from my macro economics teacher. He taught for fun, he had made his millions from his own enterprises.I wan… Read how I did it…

Next Steps:

Startup
2 months ago
I have had a deep desire to start a business for the last 5 years. Work is okay, however I’ve always had a resentment for management and the decisions they make. My chief motivators for starting a business:
1. Ownership. Ability to make important decisions and have ownership of those results.
2. Money. I don’t care too much about recognition, but would like to be well compensated for being able to do my job well.
3. Risk taking. I enjoy the excitement and adrenaline rush. It keeps my mind sharp and spirits high. The thought of working 9-5 for the rest of my life is not appealing at all.
4. Greatness. Be able to make a difference in the world. Right now I’m just a small cog in the corporate machine.
