Similar situation?

[iceyblitz]

Hi Fastlaners,

Ive got a question for you:

Have you ever felt like this?:

I often have ideas to start a business but lack of experience of it, I never knew how to begin. Questions such as "what are the first steps you should take," and "what books you should read" are just two of the many questions that arise.

Have you ever felt like this?

Almost every day.

but lack of experience of it

I never knew how to read...
I never knew how to ride a bike...
I never knew how to workout...
I never knew how to start an internet company...
I never knew how to code...
I never never knew how to publish a book...
I never never knew how to run a forum...
I never knew this...
I never knew that...

If you don't start because you don't know, you'll NEVER win at anything, much less get started. The only bright side to this mentality is you'll never fail.

what are the first steps you should take

Until you've identified your problem/need/want that you intend to solve, you really don't know.

If you're not at that stage yet, learn how to sell and communicate.

And then once you start getting into it, you realize it wasn't really what you thought it was and you still don't know, and on and on.... that's the fun of it, though. If you wanted everything figured out and predictable, why be here?

lack of experience of it, I never knew how to begin.

Also, IMO, the more experience you get in something, the more you realize how much there is still to learn. It's what makes life worth living.

To start a business first think about Idea....from where it comes don't know....then if somehow idea will come don't know from where to start..marketing, promotion all the issues then think how..how..and how...?
