How do you start a business? -

I want to start a business in the next couple of years, but how do I start a business selling recreational vehicles?

you need to go to the court house and obtain a permit or license. talk to them, they ll tell you everything you need to know.

After years of trying and always wanting to find and grow a successful business, the so called secrets to success are so simple as to be embarrassing when you write them down. Anyway I am way past the stage of being embarrassed so here are my rules for running a successful business.Rule Number 1Is there a market for what you are proposing to sell - recreational vehicles?Don t listen to friends or family, they will generally agree with you out of politeness. Do some research on the streets, at work, at clubs, social events. In your specific case I would talk to sporting clubs and try to find out where they buy their stuff now?Talk to at least 500 people and more if you can. Don t ask them would they like to see a store or have a store like you suggest. Ask them this one important question?If there was a store, would you be be prepared to buy something?When you have finished this survey, you will know if there really is a market. Please interpret the research honestly and don t pretend to yourself there is a market when none actually exists. For example if they are currently buying say on eBay at cheap prices, how will you compete with that?Be very honest at this stage, it will save you a fortune.Rule Number 2Work out your overheads - ALL of them and don t try cutting corners. Lease of the shop, rates, taxes, lighting, heating, air conditioning, stock, staff, theft, security, your wages,advertising, time spent with suppliers, payment terms with suppliers, travel, expenses, overdrafts, loans, personal equity and there are more.Work them all out and don t compromise because costs NEVER go away.Rule Number 3Simple as this may seem revenue less costs is profit. Revenue in truth is meaningless or as they say revenue for show profit for sanity. It doesn t matter how much you turnover if it doesn t cover your costs. Work out your break even point. It s easy to do.Buy a football top at $30 Sell a football top at $50. You make $20. How many of those do you have to sell to cover your costs of say $0.2m dollars a year? 10,000 is a lot of tops so can you shift 200 of those a week?I know it is more complicated than that but you have to work out what the cost price and the retail price is for your line of products, and then do a forecast as to what sales you think you need to do. That will get you a break even point, and anything over that is profit. If so how much would they be prepared to spend a year on goods like this?Rule Number 4Do a proper business plan which is the most annoying thing in the world to do. In fact it s a pain in the rear but without something written down you won t ever know the truth. In Ireland where I live 3 out of every 4 start up business fails for this very reason. No research, no business plan and no planning.Follow these 4 rules and be honest with yourself. Rule 1 covers the market and the competition, rule 2 deals with the bit no-one really works through in detail. Rule 3 is find your break even point and Rule 4 applies only if you have done everything before it.If you do and things look negative stop it right there and kill the idea stone dead.If on the other hand it looks good, in other words there is a market, there is competition but you can compete, you know and understand your costs, you have your break even point, done a business plan and then done your planning, good luck and really go for it.Best single tip, start with the end in mind!

Do the things cowgirl suggested and also talk to someone who is already doing this, preferably in a location on the other side of town or even further so that you would not be in direct competition with them. (By the way, the courthouse might not be able to tell you EVERYTHING you need to know.)Also, you could try to get a job at such a business, work there for a few years, then branch out on your own.

I am scared to open my own business? -

What should I do. I like my job its ok I am in sales car sales. Has anyone ever been in my situation where you know you can start you own business but is kinda of scared to do it. What did you guys do. Let me I need help.

Everyone has that initial nervousness when starting a business. You always have that fear of will my business succeed or tank? Opening a new business is risky, but at times the reward is worth the risk. The key to making the venture as less of a risk as possible is doing research on what you want to do. The more research, the more knowledge you have. And, as they all say, knowledge is power. Best of luck.

I want to start my own business too, it would be real easy for me I just keep ,making up excuses. I think it s because I m afraid of the NEW responsibility it s a little over whelming. I m going to hire someone to help me get it started maybe that s what you should do.

Hi Mike,Yep, been there, more than once. And Kemper is absolutely right. Research and planning are the keys.In order to plan effectively, you must conduct some research. Fear is usually overcome when you have enough information to make good decisions.What do you need to provide your services? Who will you provide them to? Who are you competing against? What makes you better; gives you an edge ? How are you going to reach your prospects/potential clients? Answering these kinds of questions gives you a basis to begin a business plan.You can download my free research outline at www.abusinessmentor.comIt should certainly guide you in the right direction.Good Luck!

have you done extensive research? read a few books on small biz andinterviewed your competition, etc?written a biz plan?

Yes, its like you came to the right place for business acumen What kind of business would you be liking to start?

Is there really any home based internet business that can provide a stable income? -

Like most people, I constantly receive emails with Can t Miss Business Opportunities that will allow me to make $10 million by next Thursday! I simply need to earn an additional $500-$1000 per month to replace my wife s lost income. Is there anything legit online?

There are many legitimate ways to make money online but you need to work for it. Participate on online forums and find out about it.

Finding the right home business opportunity is a challenge. There are many people who have been searching for the right online opportunity but never really did find what they want. If you really want to find the best home based business internet work opportunity, you should do some research. A good source of info for online business are the entrepreneur magazines. You could subscribe to one or two types of them and learn about setting up an online business. They usually offer some very good insights when it comes to setting up your business. Another way for you to find the right home based internet business opportunity is to ask for referrals from friends and relatives. If you know someone who has an online business, they are one of your best sources of info. The good thing about asking for their advice is that they already have experience and could help you out or give you some tips on how to get started.If you don t know anyone who has an online business, you could join forums as well. There are online communities that discuss working from home and some are willing to share their knowledge. To find one of these, you can just simply launch a search by typing the keywords. In a matter of minutes, you can probably find several posts.I ve been working at home for over a year now. I knew absolutely nothing about it either but I stumbled upon something called Maverick Money Makers. I saw it online and on television, so I gave it a shot and it has worked nicely for me. It is very informative and basically walks you through everything step-by-step. It does cost to become a member and have access to all of this material but I m pretty sure there is a 90 day money back guarantee if you decided you weren t interested.

If they were that good they wouldn t need to SPAM people. Everyone says they can make you a millionaire overnight, have the best pay plan, groundfloor opportunity, etc.There are good home based businesses that will allow you to replace that income. Just keep in mind that you will need to make a small investment and will have to put forth the effort to build your business.I can suggest a good opportunity for you to take a look at. It may or may not be for you. Email me if you want the info.

With the advent of online business, many people are looking at ways to make extra money on line.? There are a few good opportunities (I ve tried probably thrity or fourty) and my blog has details about the business I finally found success with.? You can make that $500-1000 with only one sale with this business.? Obviously, you can make a substantial income with this busienss if you choose to pursue that, but making that one sale will be very easy if that is your only goal.? We are promoting financial eduation products, so you ll be selling some very quality products.? Don t waste your?valuable?time, money and revenue pursuing the wrong marketing techniques.? By?leveraging cutting-edge technology, applying a strong work ethic,?and maintaining a sense of purpose, you can?make extra money on line. Visit my blog to take a closer look.

Absolutely there are legitimate businesses. I found one in May of this year and am only sorry that I did not find it sooner. Work at Home United has been the best thing for me. There is real money to be earned if you are willing to expend a little effort; the compensation plan far exceeds any other company out there. There is no selling involved, no holding inventory or delivering of products. This is a great business to develop online. Please check out my web site for more information! This might be exactly what you and your wife are looking for!

How to make real money online? -

I would like to know how to make real money online. I have heard that many people earn decent income trough internet.

You can only obtain legitimate work from home positions from brick and mortar companies. You want to send your resume out to companies hiring for positions you are qualified for, but include in your resume that you have a home office and you wish to work remotely. Include how you have your home office set up and what equipment you already have in order for you to perform your job. These jobs are just going to advertised as jobs, they would not promote them as work at home because they would hear from too many unqualified people

most people built a website, and they earn from many advertisement, and some of them earn some commission from sales on their website.

Hello there,If you mean you listed something on an auction site, you should put the fact that the item has been delayed and will not be available immediately at the end of the auction. You should probably put your best guess as to when it will be available to be shipped to the winning bidder. Since the auction has already started, you should contact each bidder directly to give them those facts and offer to allow them to withdraw their bids if the delay is a problem for them.Later,

Anyone here have a website where you use PayPal as your payment? I am having trouble creating new buttons for? -

my products. I have been trying to figure it out for days now. I select the code, copy, but when I go to my site to paste it doesn t give me the option. I use Yahoo! Small business for my website and my web hosting and they offer PayPal as a payment option so it must be compatible or whatever. I need help! Also I tryed emailing them and got no response to help me.

I am not sure where you are pasting it into. It depends what software you are using and you are not saying..have fun

What are some after school jobs i can do at 14 yrs old? -

I want a job i can do afterschool to get money and but stuff i like because my parents dont alwyas buy what i want and sometimes i really want stuff but dont have any money to buy it so what are some job ideas???

you start by asking neighbors to let you go through their trash and collect all the bottles and sell them. Then you go back to only the ones that said yes and you ask them all if they need anything straightened or sorted and cleaned out in their garages. then when you have cleaned out all the garages on five blocks you go back and get them to let you mow all their yards leaving the last one (that has a pool) so you can jump in to get all the pollen off you. then you get a paper route and then when you are fifteen you go to work at a grocery store bagging groceries.

where do you live?i m from canada (eh), and you can get a job at tim hortons at 14..which is a coffee shop...you have some in the states too.so my guess, try coffee shops and grocery stores. many will hire 14 year olds, if not 15 year olds.give er a try!good luck friend
