But it is easy in term that you don’t have to put in much of physical labor but nevertheless you have to be spot on with your decisions. You have to put in some mental effort in the work. But to start up your own business you have to learn the basics first and then take each step one by one rather than going for all at once.

A survey conducted by SBA states that two third of new business survives at least two year and about forty four percent survives at least four year. But the two most important factors on which success depends are the owner’s education level and the reason for starting up the business.

If there is will than there is a way.

But few questions which you must ask yourself before starting up the business are: are you ready to start the business? Have you prepared yourself mentally for the new position? You will be the one to take all decisions and you have to handle all the deals. This is the one reason why many people choose to start their own business but this can easily back fire on you and can drive you crazy. At the start you have to handle thousands of questions and have to take many decisions in very little time. This is the most testing time for most of the people and if you pass this stage successfully than its more likely that you will succeed in your business.

The second question you must keep in mind is the type of audience you are targeting? This is a very important point which you must always keep in mind before starting any business. It can significantly improve the overall performance of your business and can also lead to downfalls if not executed properly.

The third question is about your plan and strategy. You have to decide about the infrastructures you will need before you start up the work. Whether you have to make use of internet or you go for more traditional approach. Are you going to work full time or part time?

The last thing is that you will definitely need some type of help at some point. You may need some advice, some tool or information. You can face unexpected things at any point of time. How will you handle these real time situations? What you have to keep in mind is that no business is perfect and therefore loss and profit is part of every business. So you should always try to work on support system while you are working so that you can get it at the time of need.
