Cotton eyed Joe Posted February 4, 2004 Report Posted February 4, 2004 Well im starting a business with my dad because hes paying and i need help i know their is a lot of post about these things but what will i need? And if anyone has started a business then can you help me. My parents made me partner when I was 18 almost 11 years ago, and its been kinda tough. I also started another business last March, and its been the biggest pain in the ass ever. I was actually talking to my dad about this yesterday, but the first thing you need to start a business is MONEY. Just when you think you have enough, be prepared to work a second job to get your business off of the ground. Be prepared to work massive hours with out pay too. You have to pay your dues before you start making money. Get a plan together before you spend one penny on anything. Don't just make a mental list of shit to do. WRITE IT DOWN, and then trace through your steps to see if you've made an error somewhere. Say, some step that needs to be done before another step. When you do get some money in for your business, buy only what you need. No more than that. If you can get by using Bic pens, or crayons(thats what I use) then don't buy an executive pen set. I don't want to say how much personal money has been invested into DDI in the last year, but I will say I could use twice that much right now to invest back into it, to get rolling full time. What kind of business is it? Will the products sell them selves (makes life nice ) or is it the type where you have to sell the service and products? Quote
