Before you start your entrepreneurial adventure

Organize your personal life!


  The first step in entrepreneurship is to evaluate yourself.


Your strengths and weaknesses.
 
   Do I finish my personal projects?
   Have I ever achieved any goals I set for myself?
   Do I have control over my finances?
   Am I always struggling to find time for myself?
   Is my desk a complete mess?
  Can I easily express my point of view?
   Do I know any aspects of customer service?


Exercise your strengths and deal with your weaknesses.


  Address any personal issues before starting a business venture.


 Take time to work on small achievable goals at first.
 Work with one problem at the time.
 Give yourself a time frame to make sure you can keep up with the new routine.
 Once it becomes a habit, tackle the next one.


  Use leverage to keep going and reward yourself when you get there.


  After you shape up your personal life, you will feel like there is nothing you can't conquer.




 Next, we will explore THE BUSINESS PLAN.
 

Step one to start an ebusiness or any business.

  I decided to write a Blog about starting an ebusiness.  What is an ebusiness?  Ebusiness (eletronic business) is a business that is conducted over the internet. In my opinion it is a business without walls.

  Slowly I am gathering useful information (at least useful to me) and sharing it with you.  I am writing a Blog also because I am looking for feedback.  So feel free to comment and criticize (please be gentle). 

  This is a learning process to me.  I am glad for all the free content posted on the web today.  There wasn't much back in 2005 when I first had my ebusiness idea. 

  I was glad (still am) for www.sba.gov.  What a great place to start.  It has free information, free training, and free support. (Don't you just love the word FREE?)  I contacted someone at their office by phone and received a template of a business plan by email. 

  I can't tell you how many times I've re-written my business plan.  It is a major way to define your business. 

  So this is the first step: write a business plan. 
 
  I had pictured the perfect ebusiness in my head.  People were going to love it!  It would be the next ebay.  When I actually had to organize my thoughts and put it on paper describing what, how, and when, I ran into a few glitches.  If it wasn't for my plan I might not have predicted those flaws and embarked on a flop.

  I am still working on my plan and my idea.  And I will keep writing and re-writing it until is well defined and attainable.
