How to Start Your Own Business

Have you ever been so frustrated in not being able to find a job that you think to yourself, what if I became my own boss? Well, today we learned the proper steps that should be taken when trying to start your own business. The four steps that a person should follow include: write, read, explore, and get feedback.

1. Write- Before you can start a business you have to understand more fully who you are. Therefore, get out a piece of paper and start jotting down ideas of things you are good at and things you love to do. From there make a list where the first two lists overlap one another. Then ask yourself, "will anyone pay me to do these things?"

2. Read- What you want to do next is read up on how to run your own business. The Internet has a ton of information out there on how to successfully start your own business, so make sure you take advantage of this awesome opportunity.

3. Explore- Make sure you take time to interview others who have started the same kind of business as you want to start up, in order to see what works and does not work for them. There ends up being three steps taken in order to summarize this simple formula: A-B=C.
A.) Is the skills, knowledge, or experience it takes to make this kind of business idea work.
B.) Is the skills, knowledge, or experience that you have.
C.) A-B, This list ends up being what is required for success in such a business, that you may not have, but are willing to go out and hire those who have it.

4. Get Feedback- Before you officially go out and start your own business, first seek feedback from fellow peers and colleagues to see what they think about you becoming your own boss. This feedback is critical for you, because it helps you to seek advice and helpful tips on how you can succeed in your own business. Remember there is always some risk in trying something new, but do not have that discourage you from trying new things. You only have one life to live, so why not make the best of it?
