Some people say that you cannot get rich if you'll only be employed. Perhaps this is because your salary is fixed and your annual raise would only be enough to pay for mortgages or your everyday expenses. This is one of the reasons why people go into business. Apart from being able to work at your own pace, you would also have the power to command your own salary.
Before starting a small business however, there are some factors that you need to consider. Setting up your own business takes a lot more work than you may realize. First, you need to know what you will be specializing on and pattern it after your strengths. If you do not know a thing about plumbing, how can you be a plumber? You have to know the goings-on about the business that you will put up as well as have first-hand experience on it.
You need to plan on what your business will be based on, how you will go about managing your business, why you want to go into that particular business and who your target market is. If you do not have an idea how to answer those questions, your venture is doomed to fail.
After you have decided on what business to pursue and set up a plan on how to pursue it, the next step is for you to market it. Since you're just starting and your budget is not that big, the best way to market your products or services would be by word of mouth. Sttart with a small group of clients, they can be your friends, your colleagues, even your neighbors. Start building a reputation with them so that they can recommend you to their friends which would be good for your business without the added expense.
