    To be sure, it will be hard to devise a lot of sound planning and strategy if you are entering small business for the first time, or are entering a market with little knowledge. If this is the case for you, then you will have to perform a lot of trial and error and feel your way through the process. As such, the process may be a lot slower and unsteady. However, if you do have some small business experience and do know a lot about the market you are about to get into, then you will be in a much better position to monetize your plans quickly.

    One of the basic challenges that you will encounter in starting a new business, regardless of the product/service that you offer, is finding your customers. But it is something that a good marketing strategy can solve.

    When start a business , you need to forecast what might happen to your business. So you might have a contingency plan to solve it in time or a plan to prevent it happen .
    We need to learn about environments and barriers of having a business that able to impact your business grow.

    Lots of start-ups get hung up with all sorts of un-necessary things like 'I must get some business cards' or 'I need a logo'

    What you need is sales!! You can worry about the other stuff later

    Good luck!

    Wish you all the best for your new business. And taxes and other charges are the common part of any business. Don't worry about that part and please just focus on your business.

    micheal3891, assuming that you have already started your business. I would like to give you some points to consider :

    1. Do you have the resources? Are they sufficient enough to keep your business in tip top shape?

    Resources which can be further broken down into Management Resources, Business Experience, Resources on business, Resources on human, Resources on professional skills,resources on clients, financial resources etc.


    2. Do you have the ability to manage the business? Do you know where to hire the professionals to help bring up and grow your business? Are you ready to manage your business because if you don't no one will.


    3. Always be prepared for failures. Here's a quote from the movie Rocky Balboa (2006) :

    "The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth"


    4. Keep on learning because everyday in your business life, new things and challenges will pop up out. So you as the entrepreneur must keep on learning and applying the knowledge that you know to push your business to a higher level.

    Building a business is a knowledge that takes time and effort to make it a success so i wish you all the best on your journey,micheal3891.

    You better buy an existing business which is available for sale because it will reduce you the risk bearing factor and the capital you will going to invest to start a business from scratch.

    Create mindmaps and plan ahead. Get all the legal issues like tax and things sorted first so you don't have to worry about them later on. Then you'll need to budget it so you know how much your going to be investing in your business to get it off the ground.
