Starting a business means hard work. You may have a great idea which you believe will make millions for you but it has to be worked on…..constantly. Be prepared to live, sleep and dream work. Your family and social life may take a back burner for a while as you’ll be consumed with your new business.

I asked a few business people what they consider is important when starting a business and here are their answers.

Hi Sian,

I love this post. What a joy to read - it gives the person who is just thinking about starting up real advice.

You have everything here from all things practical (keyword research, competition, location) to the not so practical but important personal development information (being authentic, preparing for the good times and bad times).

Wish I had of read this when before I started!

Thanks Sian,

Denise

Thanks Heather - I'm glad you liked it. I enjoy doing Crowd Source posts for that exact reason - the diversity of the group. Everyone has different views and they all work I'm sure

It's just so brilliant to hear and read all the different perspectives, including the basics, analysis, research and of course on-line.

A well put together article, thank you!
