Starting a business of any kind can be a tough undertaking — especially if you’re not properly focused and prepared. Many people think they should run out to the office supply store and gather together lots of neat office supplies. . . you know. . . pens, file folders, copy paper, staplers. . . all that good stuff. Others might rush to the county clerk’s office to immediately file the necessary legal documents to “start” a business. Although these types of tasks have to be addressed, the single most important thing you can do to get your business started is to decide that you are going to start your own business and that you are NOT going to let anything or anyone get in your way! OK. . . what’s next?
