I want to run my own business when I grow up… And I also want to study for something else. So how long will it take to study to run my business??
bill gates dropped out of college and look how far he got. i would never recommend dropping out of college, though, because starting a business is a huge risk and having a degree is important to keep other options open. creating a successful business doesnt require a specific amount of schooling. it depends on whether or not you have a natural ability or need some training. it just depends on the person.
How many years of collage do you need to run your own business?
starting your own business?
Hi, some one told me that in Canada you can start your own business and the goverment can help you by giving you the first year some amount like a salary until your business grows.
Is that true?
And who knows any good businesses to start at home?
Or companies that allow you to work from home?
thanks
If you are happy to move and explore you can set up as a self employed real estate agent( rentals, property management) or sales broker in Mexico. You need hardly any capital( I started with $300) – you need no experience or training or qualifications. It is much less regulated and less complicated than US or Canada and you do not need licenses of any kind and you can work from your home. Most of clients are expats from US, Canada, and a few Mexicans so you can get by with very little Spanish and learn more at your leisure. I started with no prior experience, worked out of my home with an answer machine and a car – very quickly had hundreds of clients.
You can work independently as a broker and at the same time work for others.
The commissions are 6 and sometimes 7 %. And because the buyer invariably does not have his own agent here, as the selling broker, you get the full commission. It’s a seller’s market where I live – a very prosperous, upscale small town in Guanajuato that is growing rapidly and a very popular holiday resort – people come from all over the globe. Also there is a big demand for rentals in all price ranges- so many agents do sales and rentals.
There are many considerable advantages in not only operating a business here, but in the lifestyle you can enjoy which offers much more than in the US. Your money goes a long way – cost of living is considerably less than in the US. Of course the excellent weather, year round sun and outdoor living are some of the benefits and some of the major attractions. The Mexicans here are very friendly and welcoming, many speak English and they are hard working employees.
Some of the properties here are comparable in price to those in US (in the millions of $$).
I can be emailed if you would like to know more

Why do small buisnesses fail to grow, but some grow but lots?
Is it because the idea was bad and not enough people used the business, or is it because the owner doesn’t know how to grow the buisness well?
There has to be a reason why some businesses dont grown because there are some fantasically skilled business people who own great businesses but arnt known to many people.
And if its down to the owner how would you make your business grow if you had one?
simple answer
advertsing is key to any bussiness i see it here in my own block 6 bussiness have come and gone at one location and new chinese resatarnt is going to fail also
hardly see any customers in there they are always sitting around waiting for phone to ring etc…
BUT right down the street a place thats been there 4 years is making $1000′s per day 7 days a week
total blitz advertsing full page ads in local neighborhood paper TV and radio every week and the food is ok but thier pizza sauce is YUCKKKKKKKKK
but it’s just good enough and large menu to make them rich
the Drivers are making $800 a week in 5 days
rule of thumb in any biz online or real world
STOP advertsisng When YOUR Ready to Close YOUR Doors
i have had my own bussiness yrs ago and was succesful advertised in yellow pages and local paper and gave out my card to everyone i met
What % of revenue you spend on advertising for your online business?
I am new to selling online. If you own an online business, what % of income (from this online business) you would be using for online marketing? Is there a normal range — say 20-40% to keep the business running, and more than 80% to grow the business more aggressively?
Hi Teddy,
I don’t like very much the approach of focusing in "how much" before having a very good idea about "what", "to whom", "how", and "why".
The way I like doing this is:
1) I think about the target market (who do I want to send the message to?)
2) I think about ways to reach the target marketing: the media they use, the language they like, the keywords they use, etc.
Once I’ve defined the target public and the product, I can think about message options (what to say and how to say it). Each message option has its own cost and limitations and that is the point where I start thinking about budget.
As you see, each marketing action has its own cost and it doesn’t have much to do with your income. This situation is even worse at the very beginning when your income is expected to be lower.
How long before you could take a wage out of your business?
Me and my family have a vending business that’s been going for just over 2 years. We are only just starting to get a bit of money out of the business as all the money made simply goes back into the business to build it up. We need to use the money we make to buy more vending machines etc to grow the business.
What type of business do you have and how long was it before you started getting a proper living from it?
We are over 2 yrs in and only just starting to take peanuts out of the business.
It’s difficult to say how long it can take. When we ran a business part-time it really didn’t pay its way. Another one took about 6 months to start producing good returns.
If you’re in the UK, it may be worth contacting your local Business Link. They offer a free business review and come up with helpful suggestions for moving your business forward. We did this for one of ours a couple of years ago and it was very helpful.
Good luck with your business!
Where is the best place to announce your new business?
I want to announce my new cleaning business. we do a great job or your money back. we work in sonoma county. please help I really want to make my business grow.
You don’t need to announce it just start looking for customers. Are you doing homes or businesses? For homes tell your friends you are available and put notes on bulletin boards. For business call the building management and offer to come do a bid make sure you are qualified to do floors since that is a specialty and the equipment is expensive.
What do you worry most about regarding your money?
Are you more concerned with if you are spending your money wisely? Or do you worry about how best to invest your money? How about how to market and/or grow your business?
I WORRY ABOUT HAVING MULTIBLE FLOWS OF INCOME, I OWN AND OPERATE 4 BUSINESS , AND TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN IM READY TO QUIT WORKING I CAN.
Why is there ONLY 1 company on the NYSE that runs its business on 100% revenue financing?
Is that a coincidence or do they know that if you use more revenue to grow your business you can exceed interest payments by the increase in revenue from your growing business.
microsoft.
Which company is it. I would really like to read up on them.
Edit: Thanks and that’s interesting.
You can find various book recommendations at Successful Home Based Business.com
It’s impossible to recommend a ‘best business book’ as it depends so much on each person’s circumstances. However, I’d suggest the following for new entrepreneurs.
The E-Myth by Michael Gerber
This book seeks to explain why most small (owner managed) businesses fail and what to do about it. It contains deceptively simple but very sound ideas. By the way, the E is for Entrepreneur – this book is nothing to do with the Internet.
Cash Flow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki
This book looks at the differences in thinking between people who are employed, self employed and business owners.
Good Fortune
