As 2006 is about to end soon, I have learned a lot from starting an online business in July of this year. The ups and downs of being in business has afforded me several key lessons that you can utilize in your quest to start a business online as a web entrepreneur...More...

1. Test Your Market: Just because you think that selling Muskrat furs is a profitable business and is mentioned in newspapers, blogs, t.v. etc. as the hottest trend, doesn't mean that this is right for you. Test your market first to see if there is a genuine demand and be the supplier.

2. Research, Research, Research: Company Z or business opportunity Y may sound like a golden goose egg...still be careful that you don't end up with egg on your face. Take a lesson from CSI or NCIS television...Research the company/business opportunity throughly and leave nothing unturned (email the company for info, interview those who are already in the business, look at the company's background, etc.)

3. Count The Cost: Maybe you were fed up with the way the boss had treated you at work and you beat your chest and shrilled, "Enough is enough!" By George, you are going to follow your dream of being an Muskrat fur salesman on eBay or your own website! Whoa there, Tonto...you need to consider how much capital you will need to start your venture and also how much time you will spent spend to build the business.

4. Go Long: Goal setting is important...a business plan is even more. Have a solid foundational business plan in place so th you can be aware of where you going and where you are at. There is real truth in the saying, "If you aim at nothing, you are sure to hit it."

5. Think Big: Being a Muskrat fur salesman (hey, the title is catchy, o.k.!) may have its ups and downs yet do not allow in negativity to weight you down. Dare to dream big and bold because you are not getting any younger. Fortune favors the bold.

6. Crush Obstacles: Don't leave any room for self-pity , negativity, naysayers, or the like stop you from pursuing your dream . Stay upbeat, positive, and get a strong Mastermind group (individuals of like minded associates who want the best for you and challenge you to be more) to help you lift you from the impossible to the possible.

7. Do What You Love: If you truly enjoy selling Muskrat furs (I couldn't' resist!), then follow this avenue and see where God can take you. You can probably find a business op or start your own business ...as the old adage goes "If you do what you love, the money will follow."
