Setting up your own business is exciting, but can also be challenging if you're not prepared. This guide will take you through each stage of starting a business and help you understand what's ahead.

 The idea is to give you context, make sure you're ready.  This is not meant to discourage you from starting your own business. However, you must resolve to become good at the business of what you do, not just the technical thing to do. A business can be an amazing vehicle for achieving financial freedom and personal fulfilment, but only for those who understand and master this vital distinction and figure out what they need to do to run a successful business.

If you’re good at the technical thing of what you do, but feel like you could benefit from some help on the business side, then, you’re in the right place at the right time. The whole point of this guide is to take you from confusion to clarity, so you know exactly what to do to have business success.

Starting a business takes effort and commitment. Before you start, it’s important to know what's involved and if you're suited to running a business. These questions will help you evaluate yourself.
