Summary
Before you take the plunge into owning a business, examining the what, why, and how of running a business is crucial. Running your own business requires a tremendous commitment to the business – sometimes to the exclusion of every other aspect of your life. The business takes on a life of its own and, in the initial stages, requires you and your resources - time, money, commitment, and passion – to be successful. Many people liken starting a business to giving birth – it can be slow and painful or fast and painful. Business life cycles are also similar to the stages of life – birth, infancy, toddler, child, youth, teenager, young adult, mid-life, senior citizen, and death. Each stage has its unique issues, needs, and challenges. You and your business will experience many positive and negative lessons on the road to success. For your business to have a long and prosperous life, it takes thought, commitment, resources, and time (an "overnight" success is rare at best).
