Starting Your Own Business - What You Need To Know

getting-startedWhile many WritingThoughts readers are already in business for themselves, I know that some of you are in the process of deciding whether or not to start a writing business.

The process of going into business for yourself can be a difficult, sometimes painful, one. I should know. I put it off for years.

Even when people told me that I ought to start a business, that my skills were perfect for it, I hesitated.

I wish now that I’d had someone like me back then — someone who’d been there to talk to. That’s why I wrote a post specifically to help guide those who might be thinking about starting a business of any kind.

You can find that post over at Home Biz Notes where I’m a guest blogger today.

Whether you are thinking of starting a business, or you’ve been in business for a while, why not stop by and leave your feedback?

  1. Hi Laura
    Thanks for writing such a wonderful guest post for us at Home Biz Notes. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and I know our readers will too.

    It’s a great checklist for anyone starting out or thinking about having their own business.

  2. I’ve had a home business for about seven years now. The nature of the business has changed, though. I actually found that changing to a new business is a lot harder than getting started with a home business in the first place.

  3. When I started my marketing and branding business in 1998, I wished I had someone to talk who would share tips/answer questions. That’s what is great about having blog authors now in 2008 - what a great resource! Thanks for sharing and please keep up the good work.
