The Best Small Business To Start

Starting a business has many risks. What business would you start if you knew you couldn't fail? There are so many things to consider, so many decisions to make. Where do you even start? It would be a lot easier if you knew you couldn't fail, but there are no guarantees in life.

Learn from someone who has been there and done it.

One thing that greatly increases your chances of success is an adviser or mentor, someone who can show you the ropes in starting a business.

My name is Steve Schlagel and I have started many businesses over the last 30 years, most successful and a few that weren't. I'll share with you what I learned.

During that time I also had the privilege, as a CPA, a Certified Valuation Analyst, and a lawyer, of advising and coaching hundreds of small business owners. See what they have to say.

They were helped to refine their business ideas, taught how to develop a business plan format that aids in obtaining business start up funding. They also received guidance on how to run their new business successfully. If you need some hands on help, visit my coaching website.

Follow your passion, follow your dream! 

Questions, questions!

1. Can I really do it?
2. How do I select best small business to start?
3. What small business ideas are best for me?
4. What is the best business plan format?
5. Where will I find the business start up funding I need?
6. What are the pitfalls and traps I need to watch out for?
7. Start an online business or go with a home based business?

I've answered these questions in my own businesses and helped hundreds of others answer them too. I have counseled those looking for the best small business to start as their CPA, attorney, business valuation professional, and fellow entrepreneur.

Together we found creative solutions for business start up funding issues. Together we found the business plan format that increases success in the start up. As you read through the pages on my website I'll teach you to ask the right questions and find the right answers.

You can succeed at a business of your own.

It takes a passion, you must truly enjoy what you do in order to succeed. It takes perseverance and hard work, there are no get rich quick schemes here. It also takes the wisdom to follow key business principles that have been proven over the years to work and expert help in selecting the best small business to start.

But watch out!

Most starting a business fail, for a variety of reasons. Expert guidance when pursuing your best small business to start is the one way to give yourself the very best chance of success.

Choose carefully.

I have watched many a person seek the recommendations of academic advisors and government program specialists, only to find that their advice falls short. I can't count how often people are given advice that lacks real world relevance.

To be fair, these advisors aren't out there doing it, so how would they know? They aren't in business for themselves. They haven't been there and done it. When you are considering your best small business to start, you need someone who has been there and done it.

Anyone can succeed in a business of their own. 

I'll help you to identify profitable business opportunities within your niche.

You will see how to develop a business plan format that works. How to create the proper legal structure. How to successfully market to your customers. How to add value and differentiate yourself from your competition. And, how to develop and implement tax reduction strategies.

Remember though, it takes work and a lot of it.

There are no magic shortcuts. If you are willing to put in the time you can succeed at starting a business. The planning you will do up front will make all the difference in the world. Later I'll share a story with you about a person I worked with who chose not to take advantage of expert help when they found their best small business to start and what happened to them.

If you're ready to pursue your passion, let the adventure begin!
