How to be brave starting your first own at home business?

First thought.. Look for a way to start the business "part time" while still maintaining your regular employment. The reasons are these.. You WILL make mistakes.. and a part time business can make them on a smaller scale and correct them more easily with less long term damage, while having a fall back safety net if something that takes a lot of time or money to fix crops up. Also remember that you dont just work in the businness, providing the labour or the service. You also need time to work ON the business, to grow it, make it bigger and better. You may decide you need training for that, or to hire people to provide some services. (like accounting, book keeping or advertising) Not forget to plan those things if it shows signs of taking off.😷
