7 Tips on How to Write a Book
1. Write your book. Whether it’s non-fiction or fiction, Fantasy, Autobiography, Crime or Mystery, just write what you feel. Never worry about editing as you go; as that will bury your creativity. 2. Find a quiet place to write. An extra bedroom, office, or even a garage (preferably heated), are all good places “away from it all.” Never look for your muse where friends or family are always interrupting you. 3. Set time aside to write. It takes time to find your inspiration

Why Business Partnerships Don’t Work
Partnerships are typically formed due to a joint business idea or the need for financial aid with business start-up expense. Either way, only about 40 percent of partnerships work out and partnership dissolution is like a divorce--it’s really ugly. You can only think and speak for yourself, you cannot for someone else. You can’t assume what someone else is thinking, so you can never speak for your partner. Therefore, there will be differences in your decision-making as a par

How To Find The Best Location to Start A New Business
With some businesses, location won’t matter much. But with most, it’s location, location, and location! Poor locations may be where you find the rent is cheaper and you might believe this will save you money. The truth is, your cheaper bad location can close you down faster than anything. When you start a business, location should be your first priority. Location is extremely important in nearly all businesses. You should try looking within ten miles of your home first. It’s

Buying An Existing Business Or Franchise
Sometimes it is easier to buy an established business rather than start a new business from scratch. About 10 percent of new business owners have purchased an existing business. If you’re looking into buying an existing business, find out why it’s for sale. This can be a challenge of its own. Is it for sale because it is not successful? Was the seller doing it wrong? Were they doing it right? Was it a bad location, or a good location gone bad? Was the seller just bad at mark

How to Avoid Failure By Starting Your Small Business from Home
Nearly 90 percent of people state that at some point in their lives they’ve dreamed of starting their own business, yet few make the initial effort. Often it’s due to lack of funds or personal commitment, or just the fear of failing. And although it’s true that only about ten percent of new businesses do succeed, the reasons why the other 90 percent fail appears to be related to the lack of planning, primarily financial. Starting your business on the home front is one way to

How to Budget Your Business Start-up to Avoid Painful Failure
The myth that nine out of ten small businesses close in their first year may or may not be completely true. According to more recent Dun and Bradstreet data, 76 percent of new companies were still in business after two years. But since these statistics are based solely on the number of business license applications forfeited, they may not be entirely accurate. Many business owners don’t immediately contact their licensing office; some never do. Studies show businesses that d

Are You Ready To Be Your Own Boss?
Do you plan to give up your job and start a new business of your own? What would that take? What would be your new responsibilities? Probably more than you planned.

The benefits you get now, your insurance, or whatever it is that you count on is gone. When you work for someone else you have set responsibilities, when you work f
