Resources for Jumping from Dreams to Reality

Starting a business is a scary thing, especially if you are not confident about how to start a business. It's great to have ideas, inspiration, a nice concept and name, but how do you actually make your business manifest?

Luckily I am taking a business class so I am learning the nuts and bolts of making a strong foundation. It all begins with being aware of resources and "enlightening" yourself out of ignorance. There are a lot of fears and misconceptions due to lack of knowledge so having a nice collection of resources to combat those fears is the first step.

The main fear has to do with finances and not having enough. So, it is good to look at ways to obtain those finances. A recommendation is to get help from the Economic Development Corporation (EDC) whose objective is: "To help foster growth and success in the business sector."

Another great site for starting a business is: The Small Business Association (SBA). This site will provide almost everything you need to know about starting a business including forms for registering etc., but they also act as guarantors to entrepreneurs looking to start a small business.

www.entrepreneur.com Is another great size that will give you a jump start. So, with this task at hand, I will begin reading and try to come up with a plan of actions to take. There is no other way but hard work!
