Why not make your start up legal? An LLC is a good entity to use and the Articles of Organization are available for free on most state websites. Sooner rather than later you will need to get good legal advice and get an Operating Agreement. But why not start with some legal protection?

Having made the decision to start your own business it is recommended that you contact and accountant to determine which business vehicle will be best suited to you. This may depend on your location but whether to be a sole proprietor or a company has significant cost implications and tax savings.

A better way than just applying for a business credit card or business loan, would be going for unsecured credit. A great way to get financing is through unsecured financing, and RandR Finance offers that. Unsecured credit is a way to obtain money for a business that puts no to very little liability on the person, making it less stress full and don’t have to put collateral down. You can with the unsecured credit obtain large amounts, up to $150K, so you can full support the cost of starting a new business and what is nice is that you only pay back what you use, instead of the full amount you qualify for. It is the best way to finance a new business.

Well, according to your list – I’m doing absolutely everything wrong! I’m not legal, I co-mingle my finances with my web money, and I’m not focused at all, I have a shotgun approach to blogging in all kinds of different areas and niches.

Wow – you gave me a lot to think about for such a short post!

Your right about people having deficiencies, but that can be addressed with the proper team. As long as each person is very capable to deliver within their primary function, other team members can fill in the missing pieces. In fact, a highly skilled team is often better than a single person with all the right skills. This is why VC’s are always focused on building the proper team.

While these are great points, the biggest problem for most people new to business is their personal qualification — are they ready to run their own business?

As a business consultant, I’ve met people with the academic qualifications, but lack key skills, which will over time undermine whatever efforts they make, unless those deficiencies are addressed…

Good information! I would add that before you get to these steps, having a clear and compelling reason for starting your own business is the first step. If you aren’t really clear about your “why”, when the road gets rough, which it will at times, staying on track is tougher. Having a vision board you can keep in front of you as a physical reminder, and thinking about how your business will enrich your life on a regular basis, will help anchor your why.
