How to start small business.

Starting a small business takes a lot of courage. But, as they say, courage does not pay the bills. To be successful – to stay in business – you need more than courage. You need a combination of hard work, skill, perseverance, and lots of luck.

Some things you need to consider:
- "How can I support my family while I build up by business?"
- "What are my abilities?"
- "Is there a market for the product or service I have chosen?"
- "How long will it take this business to reach the financial goal I have?"

In terms of choosing the business, the best business will depend on what you want, how you define to be interesting. A person may consider a pet sitting business to be the most exciting work in the world, while another person would rather watch TV than take care of dogs.

The key is to determine what your interests are, what you want to do, what is suitable for your lifestyle and your overall goals, and what can fit with your resources.

Dan Ramsey in his book "101 Best Home Businesses" has a chapter on how to find YOUR best home business. He suggests these 10 steps:

1. List 5 things you do best

What steps to take these days to save money?

Taking in everyday advice. Such as - buying certain items in bulk, telecommuting, letting errands mount to one big trip (instead of several small trips), convincing yourself to not buy items you don't need, taking public transportation, sit outside under shade instead of blasting A/C unit, not eating out at all(only eating at home). 

Don't open the fridge and just 'stand there'. Get the stuff out and close it quickly. Turn the a/c to 74 degrees instead of 72 degrees this year.

Buy one of those wall hot water heater units that heats the water only when you need it - instantly - (home depot sells them), instead of the tank one that heats water all day long.

Stop buying "instant" meals. They are so expensive. Do more "homemade" stuff. Less expensive. Takes more time to prepare, but is also healthier. Plus, family can help prepare too.

Compare ingredients, cheaper brands are ok a lot of times. Seldom go for higher price unless it's the taste better. And watch out for that "organic" deal. Some stuff now is called organic and has exactly the same ingredients as normal cans.

READ your labels. I got fooled twice on this. Once with Pam organic cooking spray to regular Pam Spray. $1.50 price difference, SAME ingredients. Once with Danon organic Yogurt $2.52 compared to Walmart plain vanilla $1.58 yogurt. SAME ingredients!

Use kitchen cloths at various spots, hung at or placed in the kitchen on the cabinets instead of using paper towels all the time. This is a BIG difference.

Hanging big stuff on the clothes line to dry -- towels, blankets, etc. easy stuff to hang that doesn’t take long out of busy schedule. I like the smell too. Because they take longer in the drier anyway. 

Put in a special water line to water the yard with separate from the normal water line, saves on water bill.

Make a grocery list now instead of just going to the store.

Limit your shopping time probably, shop every two weeks, sometimes only once a month. Then just make a quick in and out stop if needed now and then to the store, saves a bunch not having to go all the time. Plus stops that impulse buying. 

You can have one of those services buy you groceries to help you from impulse buying on your 'big' shop stuff. It saves you time that way, gas, stress, and your back.

Also, you can use a discount website for shopping...
