What I have Learned About Starting a Business

            The greatest lesson about business that I have learned, and want to share, is that starting a business takes intense  preparation.

I have been an entrepreneur for many years.  I started my first real business when I was in my mid twenties because I craved the independence that I thought it would give me, and thought that my creations would be loved and embraced by everyone I met.

This business was not the success I had hoped it would be, for good reason.  I had the passion, but didn't have any of the expertise that I needed to succeed; I was ill prepared to run any kind of business and didn't know it.

           Fortunately, I was able to see what I needed, in a very small way, and started studying.  At first, I was so befuddled that I didn't even know what the questions were that I needed to ask. As I learned more, I found out how much bigger my challenge was then I expected. The more I learned, the more I realized I had more to learn.

           After trying to create a couple of more enterprises without the proper tools I became convinced that without an education I was stumped.  I started reading more and sought out seminars and teachers that could give me guidance. The more I studied, the more I wanted to study.  I finally had a grip on the questions; the search was in full bloom looking for answers.

           Over the years, I have done a lot of studying and then a lot of writing so I could share what I had learned with others.  I have created several ebooks to help you know what the questions are so
