I have some across a lot of people in business over the years and am still surprised at how naive some people are about starting a fully blown business. Is it just me who sees this level of naivety? Surely not.
Don’t get me wrong here, a part time biz is part time, but a fully blown full time business is just that full time. (and then some.) So if you want to go full time it requires a VERY solid commitment.
It takes research, planning, finance, an organised approach, resources etc. etc…
So in setting up in business make sure you have really explored all the options, far too often people have got started with such a small amount of info and advice tis laughable.
NOTE:
- A business is not a job, it’s more of a lifestyle (take it or leave it…)
- Business has potential to earn, but also the bigger potential to BURN.
- Being in business takes organisation and planning, no plan should equal no action.
- Know what it will take, do your research and get advice from people who are up there and making things happen (successful business people).
- Know that many people have gone bust in business, and some have thought long and hard before getting in and getting real results.
- Just because you have a 15 yr old who can make a website does not make them a webpreneur, far from it. Any website for your business needs to do certain things to get certain results get great advice on this.

You are absolutely right when you say that it takes research, planning, finance, etc. to set up your business. I have doing business too for about a year now;not offline but online business. I have to say that even in an online business, you have to follow certain rules. While finance may be not so important but research and planning certainly are.
I have not gone through Steve’s site yet but I am intending to do so.
