ADVERTISE ADVERTISE ADVERTISE that s the secret to success,i was a partner in a small business,which only lasted 2 years because my partner who had the money didn t want to spend it on Advertising. Because when ever i put a add in about our business we got customers and when there was no add we got nothing.
Just do it. You re over thinking it. I started my own web design business when I was 15 and I now own 3 different small businesses and they re all growing. Go for it! Get support from family for capital to start it all, and just go for it.
