I have had a few businesses in my time. I am better at telling you what not to do than what to do.
1) Do not take no for an answer
2) Do not turn to family for positive energy. Look to those who understand risk and chance and those who have weathered the storm in a business environment. Asking your sister the school teacher may bring you down rather than build you up and encourage you. They mean well.. they love you but do not want to see you fail so they will play the safety net every time.
3) Do not walk away from an idea that remains a good idea. Know when your plan has failed but your idea remained solid. As long as it still remains solid.. keep on keeping on and you will eventually reach your goals.
4) Have goals and write them down. If you fail to plan.. you will plan to fail.
I hope this helps. As away if you have more questions.
