7. Build a network of support. We have mentioned that this type of work takes place in a lonely, but that does not mean you should be isolated. Visit colleagues, join communities of entrepreneurs like you, often to their friends. That is, establish a network of emotional support and professional support in the decisions you take.

Similarly, it is advisable to subcontract certain support services, in particular, on matters of accounting, tax and technical support.

The chambers of commerce could be another option which enables you to establish business links in your industry and learn about the most important events in it. If you decide to join a franchise or license, other entrepreneurs could make professional company members.

8. Plan your workplace. No matter if it’s an entire room or corner, the important thing is to do a physical space to work. Do not skimp on ergonomic equipment to maintain your good posture and make you comfortable performance.

9. Establish a routine. Decide at what times and what days you shall work, how it will structure each day. Lean on computer programs, electronic organizers or paper.

While this routine will have some level of flexibility, it will be very important, especially during the first days of March.

10. Generate electronic presence. You must have Internet access and an e-mail itself, preferably with the protocol of your business. Maybe in a first phase is not as important that your company has a website.

11. Promote your company. Target certain amount of time daily to promote your products and services.

12. Pamper your boss and welcomes your sales force … that is, pamper yourself. Take this attitude make up for the massive effort involved in developing your own business. Each time you make a good sale, go to celebrate, get a gift. If you’re too stressed out, allow yourself an hour off for a walk or go to the gym … this is very important to not lose sight of the positive and fun to do what you like, without heads, master of your time and your life. All so you can say there is no place like home.

1. Investigate. Soak in all the information you find on two main themes: your business (market, experience of similar companies in other countries and in the very latest trends and products), as well as entrepreneurs working at home.

Remember that your knowledge will be your main weapon to fight this battle.

2. Make realistic numbers. Do not expect to become a millionaire in the boot stage. Study how much you should invest, how many will have to spend on personal expenses, manage a salary, that is, an amount that shall continue while the time comes to profits.

3. Separate your bank accounts. After making accounts, some of the money intended for business and deposited in another account as you consider for your expenses or family wealth. With this simple action, solve two important points:

a) You can keep track of income and expenses of your business easier

b) eliminate some of the financial stress caused by starting a business

If you plan to spend all your capital to the business, do not forget the advice about setting, as part of your initial budget, a salary that allows you to cover living expenses. Allow this respite, much required at this stage can lead to the breakdown of your purpose and business.

4. Make a business plan. Any type of company requires this essential document, you serve as a reference in the early stages of your company.

5. Regards to your family. If you live alone, you can skip this step. But if you already have a family, it is very important to make a meeting to discuss your plans: objectives (what will you do to get them), responsibilities, obligations and what you expect of others. Together, we can establish a dynamic of life that encourages business development in harmony with the activities of the rest of the family.

6. Protects your investment. Ensures that the goods you purchase to establish your business have warranty and maintenance service. It should be ensured, in order to protect the money you have channeled these purchases.

Similarly, on starting work on your own, you will have no health services, so should you hire policies for medical expenses and other forms of protection for your family and your assets.
