You hear and read about entrepreneurs. You might even have some friends or family members who are running their own businesses.
One of the best things you can do as a first step is to reach out to the entrepreneurs in your own network of people. Another option is to talk to some small business owners you have done business with in the past.
As you approach the entrepreneurs, you will find that most of them will be happy to share their experiences with you.
The main reason I want you to talk to some entrepreneurs first is because you will get first hand exposure to what it’s like starting and owning a business.
I know that before I have owned my own business I had no idea what it really took to be an entrepreneur.
After you speak with entrepreneurs you might feel a bit intimidated by all that you learn from them, but don’t let that scare you.

George - Very comprehensive list of suggestions and questions for any budding entrepreneur. I particularly like you suggestion about starting part-time if possible. Starting a business involves high-risk and starting it part-time allows you to test the waters and hedge your bets before making big commitments.
