Let's get started!!

So now, let's get started.
The purpose of this blog is to motivate myself and accelerate a process to set up my own business, and I would like to share what I think with people who think the similar things.

Then, in my hand, there is one book named "The Small Business Start-up Workbook: A Step-by-step Guide to Starting the Business You've Dreamed of". So anyway, try to follow the steps the book introduces.

By the way, why I chose this book was the book seemed to focus on business in UK than other books. Although this blog will not be about only UK market but more general and international approach (since my initial idea is free from location), I supposed that this book would give me more resourceful information as long as my basement is in London.

Anyway, the step 1 is "Having a design for life".
Each chapter has questions to answer after reading the chapter.
Let's try to answer them BEFORE reading it, in order to identify what I already know and what I need to know from now on.

Oh, these questions are not for each step but each chapter, so I should have mentioned the name of chapter 1. That is "Where to begin - What's the big idea".
Then, the questions are:
* How will balance be created between work life, personal life, and your satisfaction and expectations?
* What are the qualities and motivation factors affecting the proposed business?
* What are the advantages and disadvantages of going it alone?
* Why do you want to start up your own business and is it for you?

Ok, let's try to the answers in line:
* How will balance be created between work life, personal life, and your satisfaction and expectations?
A. Intuitively, I just feel it is about time. How to assign my time and what I assign my time to will be the key for balance between work life, but also quality might be important. I tend to too focus on work and career, but the balance will be very important anyway.

* What are the qualities and motivation factors affecting the proposed business?
A. Mmm, it is just my passion, isn't it? Maybe my knowledge and experience might be the quality. Network could be one of the qualities, couldn't it? It might hear too good, but I suppose pleasure of customers might be one of the motivation factors.

* What are the advantages and disadvantages of going it alone?
The advantages are less risk, flexible and I can follow my passion. The disadvantages are no supporters and advisers, less resourses and all drives you is just your passion.

* Why do you want to start up your own business and is it for you?
Because I feel there is opportunity and I can be exited about the idea, and I believe that the activity makes society happier.
