Show Notes
When is the best time to start a business? Starting a business is a lot like starting a relationship. If you aren’t willing to put the work in it’s probably going to fail. There may be no perfect time to start a new business but there are some criteria you should consider.
TIME
First off, you have to ask yourself if you have the time to commit to a new venture. If you can’t commit 150% to this thing it’s going to fail. If you are going through a divorce or having a child or planning a wedding you might not be able to do this.
PERSONALITY
It takes a certain kind of person that will be successful operating a business. You have to have a number of different skills. From managing and organization to marketing and advertising – you have to wear a lot of different hats.
FINANCIAL
You might have the best idea in the world but if you don’t have the money to back it up you’re going to be in trouble. Many businesses are going to to struggle for at least the first few months and you will have to have the money in place support the operation at the start.
FAMILY
The stress of starting a new business is going to take a toll on you but also on the people around you. Your family will be affected by your decisions both financial and in terms of the time you have to spend with them. You need to have enough time set aside for them or you are going to be unfulfilled.

We want to put legal knowledge and tools into your hand to prevent the worst from happening to you.
Twice a week we are going to deliver those tools right to your home or office with Business Legal Lifecycle TV.
