I mean… “I will..”  this is future meaning…. I will means “perhaps do it or not do it”

I’d better say “I do the business” This expression means I surely do the business and I make the money with that.

How about you Tweetcarly?

Again, it depends when somebody is working for employer, it means he is a worker, he still make money but it is called salary. When somebody says, he is a businessman/woman, it means that he is an entrepreneur and kindly identify another group of people which is still an employee but they say they will start their own business, it means they are saving up some money from their salaries which eventually become a capital to start a business. Then it is not wrong or better to say: I will start a business.

First of all, I have to define the business type. If it is meet the customers need or not by performing economic study on my project. Second thing, the budget amount should be determined to know my limitations. After that, if all above criteria are secured, it remains last step which is looking for a suite location to start my business.

Nice posts… from Tweetcarly and Ghaziat

I agree with both of you… absolutely I do.

But apart from that… what I wanna share is that… that doing a business should not think too much otherwise we will never start the business. Just start first…. action first… think next….

if we think too much to start the business and finally we never start it or back again.. too much thought create too much worries and no business… I think it’s simple but I can’t explain it clearly…

I did it and after I started or opened it and finally I know what’s wrong and I could fix the problem..

Thanks Adin,

Addition to my post, i would like to mention a story for a friend of mine. He was urged to start a small business by opening a barber shop. After couple of weeks, he realized that his shop went financially down. Is this a fail?! Absolutely not. This experience had taken him into a circle of thinking to start a new business by avoiding the past mistakes.

@Adin &Ghaziat;: in this world, there different types of people (personalities). One is DOMINANT meaning they act first then deal with the consequences later, another is CONTROL (2 others are STABLE & INTIMATE). Each character has its own strengths & weaknesses. again there no right and wrong in this case. Somebody like you perhaps is eager to do a lot of actions rather than a lot of thinking but of course there are many other people that prefer to think through before take any actions, that is why we call ‘personality distinction or even there are personality variance’. In my view, running a business (successful one) has to be accompanied by all 4 characters, CONTROL people are usually accountable for finance aspect of the business; you may own the greatest business idea in the world but without somebody financing it, how could that become a reality? The closure of a business is considered fail if you think it is fail..it’s all in your mind, but you must realize the cost of ‘learning running a business’ is quite expensive if you have to experience a bankruptcy…perhaps it is not a failure but certainly it is expensive, right?

wow.. I have a mentor in this forum. Great Tweetcarly! You’re right too. ‘personality distinction’ I agree with that. I used to think thousands times first, especially when it comes to my idea to do another job/business. but after I read some books concerning about money, it opened my mind too that to do a business, what the most important thing is just about ‘bravery’ tough mental to do it or never do it. If we have the good mental, a bravery to start a business and than that’s it.. we will be a businessman. Of course we need somebody else to run our business. We as the person whose good mental to start with will be in a good team if we’re also accompanied with the people with good managerial skill, financial skill and the other skills. the bigger the business the more professionals needed.

bankruptcy.. for me is not really a big deal because my business is just still a home business but later, this word will be frightening too, of course to me too. I will learn to get rid of losing too much.. We need to build a good system anyway to avoid it…. and we need the others to help.. your help too tweetcarly.
