I wish I had a list like this before I started out. Again though it all comes down to research.
Let's keep this thread going so that we can maybe compile A semi complete list for newbies! | |  | |  | |
I've got one. When you have a new idea, like starting your own business, there will be a lot of impulse decisions that come. Understand that good things take time, some times lots of it. By thinking things through and asking all of your questions before you invest money into your idea, and especially before you quit your job, you'll save money, and a lot of unneeded stress. All I could think about in the beginning, which wasn't very long ago, was getting my business started and getting away from my family's business. I made a lot of quick choices and purchases that I very quickly realized that had I taken the time to do some extra market research, and read a few more posts, I could have kept myself from spending some money that I didn't need to spend, and had a little less stress from "having" to find new sales, instead of "getting" to find new sales.
