How To Make The Most Of Your Business Idea
Business : Starting Up In Business If you have an idea for a new business, then don't just sit on it - make as best an attempt as possible to develop it and see if it will work, before you take the big plunge into the unknown. Here are three groups of people who can help you decide if running your own business is for you: (1) Your partner. It sounds obvious, but if you are working long hours and have a change of lifestyle, they will be the most affected. See if they are happy with what you propose to do. (2) Try to find someone who's made it. Is there someone in your personal network who has made it, or a friend of a friend? There is nothing like getting first hand experience, which can be invaluable. Invariably, talking it through with someone like this will enable you to firm up your idea. (3) Local Enterprise Agency - in the UK, there are around 1,000 business experts waiting for you to meet them, so go on and do so! They offer help and support to people in your situation, and are free.
