Starting a small business of your own is something so many of us dream of doing, and something that most definitely requires passion, hard work, dedication and time. But it can all be so worth it--even if your business may not make it, you will always have the satisfaction of knowing you tried. And if you are successful, what a great way to make money: doing what you love, being your own boss, and sharing your passion with others.
If you are thinking of starting your own business, the most important thing I can suggest is to RESEARCH, RESEARCH, and then RESEARCH some more! Know everything you can about the business you are thinking of starting, and ask questions of anyone in that business that is successful. Be prepared to work long hard hours, be prepared to NOT make a lot of money, if any, in the beginning, and if you can start a business based on something you love, that will make everything come so much more easily to you.
