My advice for starting a business is to make sure you have a plan and goals in place. Research your industry, research the competition, and develop an action plan that outlines how you will get from where you are now to where you want to be. Also, think about the resources you need, such as capital, staff, and customers, and determine if you can acquire them before beginning your business. Lastly, create a financial plan that includes setting up a budget and tracking your income and expenses.
