The wheels are in motion - starting up the business

Where do you start when building a business?

We looked all over the internet and read many blogs and forum strings about the subject. The subject is massive and its difficult to see the wood for the trees. There's stuff on starting up, setting up a company, sales, marketing, business ideas, e-commerse, earning extra money, corporate law, forums, blog, social networks, the list goes on. I even came across advice on what to do if you make too much money to spend. HaHa.

We decided to discuss what we wanted to achieve as goals and go in with a plan. Luckily we have similar goals so this was easy. They were all about building a future, not neccesserily creating money to line our pockets. Our plan - probably our first mistake - not having one in particular.

For the first 2 weeks we never wrote down action points, goals for the month, week and day and haphazardly went about business with little or no direction. Fortunately we decided to take hold of the reins and start working smart, not neccessarily hard, or like a busy fool!!!

We now have listings on business directories, a couple of forums, Twitter, a Facebook page that is soon to be released, google adverts, Adsence etc... Our day, week and month are being planned with specific goals that we must hit.
