For complete information about planning for and starting your own small business, see the Small Business Administration website at http://www.sba.gov  Take a look at the startup kit and lessons.  It is probably something you can start now while you are working, and keep getting a paycheck while you get all the other stuff in order.\n\nBefore investing time and especially money on any home-based businesses, it’s a very good idea to educate yourself on the different types of schemes there are out there, and what to look for – and look out for – before picking a home-based business. The Federal Trade Commission has several advisories about home-based business opportunities and network marketing (MLM) schemes. \n"Work at home Schemes" http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/invest/homewrk.htm \n'Net Based Business Opportunities: Are Some Flop-portunities?\nhttp://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/online/netbizop.htm\n"The Bottom Line on Multilevel Marketing Plans" http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/pyrdalrt.htm

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. \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\n6. Market, market, market\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 a loan, it is not as easy as going to the bank and simply asking for a loan. Your age may be a factor against you. You need to prove to the bank that \n\n(a) your business will actually earn money; \n(b) you can repay the loan; and\n(c) you are invested in your business -- they won't give you 100% of the amount but only a part of it because they want to see the business owner believe in their business first.\n\nResearch about your business and prepare a strong business plan.

There are many businesses who started with so little yet grew to become good income vehicles down the road. But it will take more work, more research. With little resources, you can't afford to make mistakes.\n\nFrom the article "How to Start a Business with Little Cash" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol30/nocash.htm  here are some tips on how you can start a business and earn more money even if you are short of cash today:\n\n1. Find a business that you can start for little money (e.g. an errand business where your main cost is telephone and gasoline is easier to start than starting a Subway franchise)\n\n2. Consider your time and effort - if you have little cash, you may have to work harder for the money because you will have no resource to outsource or employ others to do certain tasks for you; or you have no money to buy equipment so you can only do certain things the long way\n\n3. Get your creative juices flowing. With no money, the only thing you have is your imagination. Be creative and find ways to get things done \n\n4. Be prepared to do all the work yourself - from doing your business plan, finding financing, writing emails, shipping and handling, marketing or whatever processes your business requires. \n\n5. Be prepared to invite investors - you may need financing help from someone down the road so be prepared to share some of the pie.\n\nTo give you ideas on what exactly do you need to start your own business, here are ten things you need to know before launching your own business  “10 Things You Need to Know When Starting Your Own Home Business” http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/startingbiz.htm .\n\nYou may want to consult with an experienced entrepreneur or small business adviser to help you map out the best and cost efficient ways to start a business.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-Volunteer programs such as SCORE http://www.score.org  which is composed of mostly retired executives and entrepreneurs \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- Professional organizations such as the National Women’s Business Council http://www.nwbc.gov/Mentoring/programs.html \n- Industry and trade associations \n- Local business groups, such as the chamber of commerce \n- Local chapters of business groups
