I have my own business.  I have started many business' before from a young age.  I started my current business as a finance coach about 2 years ago.  I do have schooling and background in what I do.  But, don't let that stop you if you don't.  \n\nFigure out what you want to do and if it excites you.  Then work toward what you need to make happen to have your business become a reality and go for it.  Don't listen to naysayers also known as dream stealer's.  Stay focused on your goals as long as they make you happy!  \n\nIf you have specific questions on doing this, email me.\n\nBest of luck.

Running your own business, you will have to be able to focus on more than one thing.  Starting your business on a small scale part-time and keeping your day job is a good way to do this.  \n\nDepending on your stage in life, you may be able to have your parents or spouse support you while you take the dive and start a business on your own.\n\nEven if someone else will be supporting you, you should save up as much money as possible in the short run.  The biggest cause of business failure is not enough capital.

You can start a business now. But keep it as a corporation with a friend. When your paper work comes through, transfer ownership as a gift

You may want to read the article "Most Common Questions Asked When Starting a Business" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol45/questions.htm for information on getting tax number, business registration, etc.\n\nStarting 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. \n\nSome things you need to consider:\n- "How can I support my family while I build up by business?" \n- "What are my abilities?" \n- "Is there a market for the product or service I have chosen?" \n- "How long will it take this business to reach the financial goal I have?" \n\nYou may want to read the article "How to Start a New Business Successfully" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol51/launch.htm , which lists six steps to launch a new business successfully:\n\n1. Provide a benefit.\n2. Determine the fit with your market.\n3. Right timing is everything\n4. Be ready to support your business\n5. Develop a blueprint for success (your business plan)\n6. Market, market, market\n\nYou may want to read the article "10 Things You Need to Know When Starting Your Own Home Business"  \nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/startingbiz.htm\n\nI recommend that you read the following books:\n\n- What No One Ever Tells You About Starting Your Own Business : Real Life Start-Up Advice from 101 Successful Entrepreneurs \n- Starting From Scratch: How To Start A Business When You Don't Have Money \n- If You're Clueless About Starting Your Own Business and Want to Know More \n- On the Move : How to Succeed and Survive As an Entrepreneur \n- How to Make 1000 Mistakes in Business and Still Succeed\n\nAs for getting professional help (lawyers, accountants), they are great but not really necessary. If you are willing to do what they can do and want to save the money especially if you have a shoestring budget, then you can do the tasks yourself. But they are very helpful in terms of allowing you to focus on what you do best, while they take care of important things for you. Read the article "How to Select the Right Professional Help for Your Business" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol83/professional.htm to help you choose the best outside experts to help you in your business\n\nYou may want to consider getting a mentor to help you steer your business to success. There are several places where you may be able to find a mentor: \n\n- Government Mentoring Programs such as SBDCs, which works with community colleges and local business development councils to offer mentoring programs http://www.sba.gov/sbdc/sbdcnear.html ; or the Women's Network for Entrepreneurial Training http://www.sba.gov/womeninbusiness/wnet_roundtables.html \n\n- Volunteer programs such as SCORE http://www.score.org  which is composed of mostly retired executives and entrepreneurs \n\n- Formal mentoring programs such as Athena Foundation http://www.athenafoundation.org/programs/globallinks.html  , Helzberg Entrepreneurial Mentoring Program http://www.helzbergmentoring.org/HEMP/  , or The Aspen Institute MicroMentor Program http://www.micromentor.org \n\n- Professional organizations such as the National Women’s Business Council http://www.nwbc.gov/Mentoring/programs.html \n\n- Industry and trade associations \n- Local business groups, such as the chamber of commerce \n- Local chapters of business groups

Along the same lines as the ebay comment, starting your own business is the way to go. It is a lot of work and you need ideas that would be profitable. America is the land of oppertunity.

It must be very good. Mainly if you are in administration college. After all, why are you in college? Isnt it to own money? So, why not start it right now? \n\nThe only problem is that to start a business, you need money... thing that you usually dont have on college

You need to have the desire to manage yourself and other people. You need the financial backing to be able to run the business for 6 months without any income. You will need to contact your local city hall and check to see what licenses you will need? both civil and professional. ie. a Business license and also a handyman or contractors license. \n\nYou will need to arrange for insurance (liability and workmans comp) DO NOT SCIMP ON THIS if you or your employees get hurt (accidents DO happen) you will need this.\n\nSo once you have the right paperwork, a place to do business, and the insurance. You will need to develop a client base. Then its just a matter of growing the business.\n\nSome advice: There is always some idiot who will work for nothing, so when someone says "I can get that for half of what you want" and you know what your costs are and you are making your markup (40% gross to realize a 10% net or whatever you decide on - get a cost accountant to help you)LET THAT JOB GO. You are in business to make money not work for free.\n\nI'd rather go fishing than work for free .. at least I get to eat that night.
