Do you know anyone who you may be able to talk to about starting up your own business? Like a mentor? It may be a good idea to speak to as many people as you can in your chosen field, network, make new contacts, use LinkedIn, get advice, research on the net etc. I’m not sure what the business idea is, but as scary as it is.. You now have the opportunity to really put your all into the business.. You could look at it as your old job doing you a favour in giving you the time to do this. Yes.. It is very scary to leave the familiar.. Change sucks. If starting this business is something you need to do, then now seems as good a time as ever to start. Can you get a part time job in the meantime to help you still bring in an income while starting the business?

I hope this helps a little 🙂

Well it sounds like you are heading in the right direction..

1) you’ve already started the business, yay..
2) you’re driven
3) you know in your heart this is what you are meant to do
4) you have a plan in mind for the business to progress

Talking to people, networking, going to events can all help.

Have you been on meetup.com – they are based all over and there could be a business meet up group in your area that could be worth getting involved with.

Linkedin is a great way to make contacts and check out competitors

You could email contacts you have who have started their own businesses and ask if they could help be your mentor during this start up phase.. People are often happy to help

Congrats on getting started 🙂
