why??


TOP TEN DO'S

Live frugally and begin saving up money for starting your business.

yep

Learn your intended business by working for someone else in the same
business first.

not always the thing to do, it depends. Can be time wasted and/or
opportunity missed.


Consider the advantages of operating a family business.

generally advised against

Make "for" and "against" list describing the specific business you are
considering.

no, compare each option.


TOP TEN DON'TS

Don't consider starting a business in a field you do not enjoy.

If people followed that, most of us would be out of work.


Don't risk all the family assets. Limit your liabilities to a
predetermined amount.

depends on circumstances, if your ass is on fire it may be the best
option.


Don't be in a hurry to select a business. There is no penalty for
missed opportunities.

of course there is


Don't select a business that is too high a risk or hurdle. Go for the
2-foot hurdle.

why should someone that can jump 4' go for the 2' hurdle?


Avoid a business in which you must have the lowest price to succeed.

There are some that succeed, by producing goods at lower cost than ever
before.

If this is your list of points to 'print out', you may want to avoid
self employment. One of the key questions is whether self employment is
really a good idea at all. The very high business failure rate shows
that for most it isnt.

No, forums are generally web based and we have had enough trouble with
those in here over the years.

Technically, it might be. But it generally tends to indicate a lack of
understanding by the poster, concerning the nature of the audience to
which they are posting.

I'm afraid your education has let you down. Forum *is* a generic term of long
standing - 2,500 years? - and you have to accept its general use alongside its
more specific version, else display your ignorance.

On the WWW a "forum" is a web based system where you can read discussions
on a specific web page(s) system. Usenet is completely different, the
discussion is distributed by newservers directly to your own machine.

Groups.google is trying to pretend that it *is* usenet by offering a web
based interface to usenet. Read http://www.google.co.uk/grphp carefully.

Dave Fawthrop dave hyphenologist co uk Google Groups is IME the *worst*
method of accessing usenet. GG subscribers would be well advised get a
newsreader, say Agent, and a newsserver, say news.individual.net. These
will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies.

1 to 10.
