To start a business, you really have to be passionate about your chosen field. Your passion will motivate and carry you through thick and thin. And obviously, research, research AND research.

what kind of business you want to start, has a store offline or online?
what kind of products or service you want to sell or offer?
you should consider the source and the customer firstly, if you have both of them, you should pay more attention on your store, online or offline

Default A ready made business with Forever

Forever Living could be the answer. No special premises, no stock to hold, no staff. Forever Living are the World Leaders in aloe vera. Many people are now joining the Forever family. Great support from a local network and fantastic award winning training. For a small investment you can have a business in a box ready to go. More and more of us want to look good, feel good and live for a longer, using natural products can certainly help with all of that. If anyone would like more details, just let me know.

First of all,you should make a business plan and business strategies according to the market condition and you should stay in touch with the business experts and keep an eye on market updates time to time.And you should be ready with the financial condition fully.

All the best!!!!

Well firstly, plan, plan and plan some more!
Secondly, know that it's likely to take longer than you expect to get things off the ground (ie. don't expect to make a profit straight off the bat!)
Thirdly, you need to feel comfortable with uncertainty; I think one of the other members has mentioned being a 'risk-taker', that's certainly true. Running a business will have its ups and downs, and it's important to be ok with that.

I disagree with that. Sure, it's better to be passionate than not right. But to say you need to be passionate to start a business isn't true. There are plenty of business people, and plenty of markets out there, where passion isn't really part of the equation. (Especially the underground ones!)
