I wish everyone had this list and a few more check points before they begin. It would save a lot of people from the heartache and financial losses. As a 25 year veteran in the tax business, I know a lot of technicians who think they are business people. Sales is hard for all but really can stretch and grow the person if they take the time and effort to learn to sell and all there is to having a thriving business. Best Wishes to anyone who is thinking of starting a business. Life is never dull when you own a business. Very well stated.

It took me 2 years to finally realize about the importance of sales. I also read somewhere that we all start as technicians at first; we're good at something, but to really make it work as a business requires so much more. Right to the point!

I love all of it, especially that part about being comfortable with sales. As a business owner, you chief job is to generate sales. A lot of small business owners are not comfortable with this, but it still must be mastered. Great job putting it as a consideration right at the top! I come across lots of people who say they have a business, but what they really have is a glorified hobby. They're not licensed, they have no insurance, they don't pay taxes appropriately, etc. Some move to full-fledged business ownership, but others do not once they see all of the paperwork involved. After nearly 11 years in business, I can say that iI=t's a lot, but it can be done, and the pay off is fantastic. Thanks again for a great post! Great post, Ann.

The only exception is the sales part and I struggle with that, but am getting better with help from others and growing experiences. I like the distinction between a hobbyist and a business owner... I definitely make is as a business owner, given what is happening with my funds... lol Lots to consider, Ann, some that I did not before I started, but have come across while in business and have resolved.
