Getting Started in Business: Bill Bartmann asks is Business Right for You?

Basic questions to ask yourself:

Is there a need for your product; is there a customer base?
Are consumers ready for you; do they share your passion?
Do you have enough money?
Are you ready to assume some risk?
Are you confident in yourself and your idea?
Have you done the research?

Think about how much money you need to have saved and how much you will have to borrow. Will you borrow from friends or family? Will you go into a partnership to raise part of the capital? Do you know how to obtain business lines of credit?

Talk to your family first; try to have some support around you. Remember, as you succeed, others will succeed with you; if your business fails, you will take people down with you. It is important that everyone involved or affected by your business be considered.

Do lots of research; educate yourself; find out more about what you don’t know. You will learn that there are a lot of things that you are not even aware that you don’t know. There will be things you haven’t thought of to learn about. What you don’t know that you don’t know can be most crucial to your success in starting a new business.
