15. 7 Key Steps toward Starting Your Own Business
A lot of people think starting a business is hard. So Here
are seven key first steps to starting your own business:
1. Take time to brainstorm.:
An idea is great, but you need to be able to give it legs.
Your job as a new entrepreneur and future business owner
is to think about every aspect of your business. Come up
with answers to every question a stranger or potential
investor might ask you.
2. Create a business plan.:
The main parts of a business plan include the executive
summary, a company description (what makes the company
unique), a market analysis (the competition and target
demographics), the company's structure, a description of
the service or product line, the marketing and sales strategy,
financial projections -- plus any additional useful information.
3. Gather needed resources.:
No matter what the size of your business is, you'll need
a few essentials to start operating. Create a list of everything
you’ll need and its approximate cost, whether it’s an office
space with a new desktop and printer or a warehouse to hold
the products.

4. Launch marketing and brand-awareness campaigns.
Before you launch the business off the ground, start planning the ideas for
marketing, sales, and branding efforts.
Create a Facebook page, Twitter profile, Google+, and LinkedIn page for your
business, depending on the appropriate social media channel for your company.
Use the company's brand colors and logo to create business cards, letterhead and
email signatures to demonstrate to customers a professional operation.
5. Get the finances in shape.:
Hire an accountant for your business who can ensure that taxes are done correctly.
While doing your own business taxes can be relatively easy when running a solo business,
laws and regulations vary by state. Consult with an expert to make sure you're in the clear.
6. Create a maintenance list.
When you finally have your business up and running, keep track of regular tasks
that keep a business running, keeping up with inventory, updating the website and
regularly blogging and using social media.

7. Set future goals.:
Whether your business is a day or a year old, continuously set goals in order to move
your business forward.
Examine the competition, employees, investors and peers to help you decide what
new goals need to be set and what needs to happen so as to be successful
