Deciding to start a business can be one of the most exhilarating decisions you make in your life. But there are a lot of moving parts and many different elements to consider.

Here are 10 steps that provide an overview of the basic steps required to start a business successfully. Take one step at a time, and you'll be on your way to small business ownership.

Step 1: Get Inspired

All businesses start from a common point - an idea. You may have dreamed of starting your own business for years, or inspiration may have hit you unexpectedly. Regardless of the source, the first step of starting your own business is coming up with a business idea.

Step 2: Do Your Research

You've identified your big idea, now it's time to balance it with a little reality. Are you really ready to start a business? Take this starting a business quiz to gauge your readiness and see what you need to prepare yourself for business ownership.

The next stage of research you conduct in your small business start-up process will help you figure out if your business idea has potential.

In order for a small business to be successful, it must solve a problem, fulfill a need or offer something the market wants. There are a number of ways you can identify this need, including research, focus groups, and even trial and error. As you explore the market, some of the questions you should answer include:

Is there a need for your anticipated products/services?
Who needs it?
Are there other companies offering similar products/services now?
What is the competition like?
How will your business fit into the market?
Don't forget to ask yourself some questions, too, about starting a business before you take the plunge.

Step 3: Make a Plan

You need a plan in order to make your business idea a reality. If you intend to seek financial support from an investor or financial institution, a formal written business plan is a must.

Even if you don't anticipate seeking financial support, a simple business plan can give you clarity about what you hope to achieve and how you plan to do it.

In general, your business plan should outline your business goals and the motivation behind them, as well as your plan for reaching your goals in terms of marketing and funding.

Step 4: Plan Your Finances

Starting a small business doesn't have to require a lot of money, but it will involve some initial investment. There are a number of ways you can fund your small business, including:

Financing
Small business loans
Small business grants
Angel investors
You can also attempt to get your business off the ground by bootstrapping, using as little capital as necessary to start your business.

Step 5: Choose a Business Structure

Your small business can be a sole proprietorship, a partnership, a limited liability company (LLC) or a corporation. The business structure you choose will impact many factors from your business name, to your liability, to how you file your taxes.

You may choose an initial business structure, and then reevaluate and change your structure as your business grows and needs change.

Step 6: Pick and Register Your Business Name

Your business name plays a role in almost every aspect of your business, so you want it to be a good one. Make sure you think through all of the potential implications as you explore your options and choose your business name.

Once you have chosen a name for your business, you will need to check if it's trademarked or currently in use. Then, you will need to register it. A sole proprietor must register their business name with either their state or county clerk. Corporations, LLCs, or limited partnerships typically register their business name when the formation paperwork is filed.

Don't forget to register your domain name once you have selected your business name.

Step 7: Get Licenses and Permits

Paperwork is a part of the process when you start your own business. There are a variety of small business licenses and permits that may apply to your situation, depending on the type of business you are starting and where you are located. You will need to research what licenses and permits apply to your business during the start-up process.

Step 8: Set Up Your Business Location

Setting up your place of business is important for the operation of your business, whether you will have a home office, a shared or private office space, or a retail location.

You will need to think about your location, equipment, and overall setup, and make sure your business location works for the type of business you will be doing.

Step 9: Choose Your Accounting System

Small businesses run most effectively when there are systems in place. One of the most important systems for a small business is an accounting system.

Your accounting system is necessary in order to create and manage your budget, set your rates, conduct business with others, and file your taxes. You can set up your accounting system yourself, or hire an accountant to take away some of the guesswork.

Step 10: Promote Your Small Business

Once your business is up and running, you need to start attracting clients and customers. You'll want to start with the basics by writing a unique selling proposition (USP) and creating a marketing plan.

Then, explore as many small business marketing ideas as possible so you can decide how to promote your business most effectively.

Once you have completed these business start-up activities, you will have all of the most important small business bases covered, and be ready for small business success.

#1: Change the Way You Think About Money

The general population has a love / hate relationship with wealth. They resent those who have it, but spend their entire lives attempting to get it for themselves. The reason a vast majority of people never accumulate a substantial nest egg is because they don't understand the nature of money or how it works.
Cash,like a person, is a living thing. When you wake up in the morning and go to work, you are selling a product - yourself (or more specifically, your labor). When you realize that every morning your assets wake up and have the same potential to work as you do, you unlock a powerful key in your life. Each Naira you save is like an employee. Over the course of time, the goal is to make your employees work hard, and eventually, they will make enough money to hire more workers (cash). When you have become truly successful, you no longer have to sell your own labor, but can live off of the labor of your assets.

#2: Develop an Understanding of the Power of Small Amounts

The biggest mistake most people make is that they think they have to start with an entire Napoleon-like army. They suffer from the "not enough" mentality; namely that if they aren't making 120,000 Naira or 500,000 Naira investments at a time, they will never become rich. What these people don't realize is that entire armies are built one soldier at a time; so too is their financial arsenal.
A friend of mine once knew a woman who worked as a dishwasher and made her purses out of used liquid detergent bottles. This woman invested and saved everything she had despite it never being more than a few dollars at a time. Now, her portfolio is worth millions upon millions of dollars, all of which was built upon small investments. I am not suggesting you become this frugal, but the lesson is still a valuable one. Do not despise the day of small beginnings!

#3: With Each Dollar You Save, You Are Buying Yourself Freedom

When you put it in these terms, you see how spending 2,500 Naira here and 5000 Naira, there can make a huge difference in the long run. Since money has the ability to work in your place, the more of it you employ, the faster and larger it will grow. Along with more money comes more freedom - the freedom to stay home with your kids, the freedom to retire and travel around the world, or the freedom to quit your job. If you have any source of income, it is possible for you to start building wealth today. It may only be 700 Naira or 1500 Naira at a time, but each of those investments is a stone in the foundation of your financial freedom

#4: You Are Responsible for Where You Are in Your Life

Years ago, a friend told me she didn't want to invest in stocks because she "didn't want to wait ten years to be rich..." she would rather enjoy her money now. The folly with this school of thinking is that the odds are, you are going to be alive in ten years. The question is whether or not you will be better off when you arrive there. Where you are right now is the sum total of the decisions you have made in the past. Why not set the stage for your life in the future right now?

#5: Study and Admire Success and Those Who Have Achieved It... Then Emulate It

A very wise investor once said to pick the traits you admire and dislike the most about your heroes, then do everything in your power to develop the traits you like and reject the ones you don't. Mold yourself into who you want to become. You'll find that by investing in yourself first, money will begin to flow into your life. Success and wealth beget success and wealth. You have to purchase your way into that cycle, and you do so by building your army one soldier at a time and putting your money to work for you.

#6: Unless Your Parents Were Wealthy, Don't Do What They Did

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. If your parents were not living the life you want to live then don't do what they did! You must break away from the mentality of past generations if you want to have a different lifestyle than they had.
To achieve the financial freedom and success that your family may or may not have had, you have to do two things. First, make a firm commitment to get out of debt. To find out which debts should be paid off before you invest and those that are acceptable, read Pay Off Your Debt or Invest?. Second, make saving and investing the highest financial priority in your life; one technique is to pay yourself first.Nowhere else can your money do as much for you as when you use it to invest in a business that has wonderful long-term prospects.

#7: Don't Worry

The miracle of life is that it doesn't matter so much where you are, it matters where you are going. Once you have made the choice to take control back of your life by building up your net worth, don't give a second thought to the "what ifs". Every moment that goes by, you are growing closer and closer to your ultimate goal - control and freedom.
Every dollar that passes through your hands is a seed to your financial future. Rest assured, if you are diligent and responsible, financial prosperity is an inevitability. The day will come when you make your last payment on your car, your house, or whatever else it is you owe. Until then, enjoy the process.

The Definition of W.E.A.L.T.H.

Are you trying to attract wealth? To begin building wealth, you need to first truly understand what wealth is and means so that you may bring it into your life. The way I see it, the definition of wealth breaks down like this:

Wanting – you have to intend (write down) your desires. You must know exactly what you want before you can get it. You must condition yourself to receive it and you must always believe that you will get it. It helps to act “as if” you already have everything that you want and appreciate all of the things that you do have.

Education – always striving for knowledge. You have to continue your education everyday. It is an absolute must to improve yourself by reading personal development books, including the Bible, and listening intently to motivational and positive thinking experts.

Accumulation – to achieve abundance and attract wealth, you have to open your mind to more, and the only way to achieve this is by giving. You have to make your mind believe that you have more than you need. This will relax and open your mind and you will quickly see the abundance that comes back to you once you begin the practice of giving.

Love – This is what we all want the most. Having this one thing is true “wealth” and it will bring the happiness we are all looking for, but it comes with a big demand: the only way to achieve love is to give it away first. Once you start spreading love in every aspect of your life, you will start receiving it in every aspect of your life, including your pocket book. But, be careful, you must love out of your heart for love’s sake and not to benefit you in anyway, for that is the only true and proven way to a life filled with wealth.

Time– most people think the most important part of wealth is money but although that is certainly an important aspect the most important facet of wealth is the time freedom to do what you want when you want.

Health – It has been said that “money is nothing if you do not have your health”. Well, as passionate as I am about money…this is absolutely true. Your body and mind are the most important parts of your life. The enjoyment of the wealth in your life will compound dramatically if you do what it takes to make sure you are in good health.
What does wealth mean to you? I would love to hear your definitions in the comments.

Most parents want to teach their children responsibility - how to become self sufficient and succeed in life (after all, no one plans on raising a dead beat). However, very few actually accomplish this task. Why? Because, as parents, we are limited to the experiences our parents passed on to us; the antiquated notion that "responsibility" is simply getting a job, saving a little money, and maybe purchasing a car or some equally important item. Hopefully these seven rules will open your eyes and help you teach your children to avoid the traps that have stolen financial success from so many people.

Wealth Building Rule 1: Put Off Marriage

Your biggest obstacle to attaining wealth is YOU. Too often, people live their lives in a manner that is not conducive to creating riches and then get frustrated at "the system" when they only really have themselves to blame.
One of the most important financial decisions you will ever make is marriage (more specifically who you marry and when). By putting off the walk down the aisle for a few years, you can save a decade worth of frustration. Your first goal should be to become financially independent, with little or no debt, and have your investments in place. Once you have these three things, your odds of success are drastically improved by beginning your journey on a level playing field (after all, the number-one reason for divorce is financial trouble).

Wealth Building Rule 2: Debt is a Disease

With a few notable exceptions, debt is a form of bondage; a disease that enslaves the borrower. A few years ago, there was a young lady attending college who shot herself because she couldn't pay back $2,300 in credit card debt. Although an extreme example, it is a testament to the power money has over peoples' lives. Imagine your life without owing anyone anything; your car, your house, your education, all paid for in full. Like what you see? When you want it badly enough, you will make extinguishing your debt your number one priority.

Wealth Building Rule 3: If You Don't Like Where your Parents Were at Your Age - Do Things Differently

The old cliché that "insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results," holds just as true today as it did when it was originally written. If you don't like where your parents were at your age, stop what you are doing. During your childhood, they taught you all they knew about money. For many people, these early years established how they feel about their finances today. In order to become financially successful, you must do something different than they did. Otherwise, you will end up exactly as they are.

Wealth Building Rule 4: When you Begin a Job, Look at the Pay of the Highest Employee

Whether you are looking for employment now or are thinking about it sometime in the near future, one of the most important things for you to do is to look at what the top-dog gets at any company for which you are considering working. This will give you an idea of how high you can expect to climb in terms of earnings and promotion. If the CEO is making $30,000 a year, you have no chance to make six figures. Select a job accordingly

Wealth Building Rule 5: Do Something You Love and Get Paid for It

I remember going into college and being surrounded with people who wanted to be artists, scientists, and businessmen, but instead did what their parents or grandparents told them to do. There is no honor in being a doctor or a lawyer if you wake up every morning and hate your job. Pick a profession you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life.

Wealth Building Rule 6[/b]h: Understand the Money Myth

Money is nothing more than a piece of paper with the image of a long-dead person on it. When you understand that any power it has over you is derived from your relationship with it, you suddenly become free from the constant pressures and stress of thinking about it. Especially at times such as these, if you are putting money away for ten, fifteen, or twenty years down the road, stop checking your portfolio every day! There is nothing you can gain from it except stress.

[b]Wealth Building Rule 7: Your New Commodity is Not Your Labor, It's Your Ideas

With the advent of the Internet and other technological advances, you are no longer limited to supporting yourself or making a living by your physical labor. The only limit you have on yourself now is your own imagination - your ideas are the most valuable thing you possess. Every man, woman, and child is a salesman for a living; if you don't own a business or investments, then you sell your manual labor to a company in exchange for a paycheck. Change your product. The gap between the rich and poor does indeed grow larger with each passing year, but not because of inequalities or any other such injustices. Instead, it is because the rich understand money and how to use it. Capital is literally a seed; learn how to plant it to produce the best harvest. When you do this, you will rule your finances, not the other way around.

Note: People without hopes,vision,dreams,ambition or desire to win will go out of their WAY to kill yours.

Creating Wealth
Building wealth is actually pretty simple, not easy, but simple. To become wealthy you must align your thinking, feelings and actions with the universal laws and you will succeed every time.

I like how James Ray puts it, “You must go three for three, your thinking, feelings and actions must be firing on all cylinders.”

Get that pen and notebook out! If you want to start building wealth, write the answers to these questions.

Keep in mind that the only limitations in your life are the limitations your mind sets up.

How much do I want to earn per year?
What is my dream net worth?
Who do I want to become? (list top 3)
What do I want to do? (Again, top 3)
What do I want to have? (list as much as you'd like)

Eventually, I want you to narrow down to your top 3, for example: I intend becoming a world-wide entrepreneur, building luxury homes for anyone that desires them and having a 100,000,000 million dollar company. Then, follow the same wealth building strategy that all the great achievers use, and start creating your ideal results, circumstances and financial situation.

If you can get it on paper, I guarantee you have a better chance of succeeding.

Jesus gives some great words of advice for the steps to building wealth, “Ask, and it will be given you; Seek, and you will find; Knock, and it will be opened to you.”
