So here’s the situation. You have this new and amazing business idea. You’ve thought about it for months now. You’ve done research. Everyone tells you that you’ve got a great idea. You want to do it!

But here’s the problem. You’ve never run a business before. In fact, you’ve never really done anything in the business world. Your profession up until now is hardly big finance. It has nothing to do with accounting or marketing or any of those other words that you’ve heard associated with business. You don’t know where to start.

The fact of the matter is that if your idea is in fact a good idea, you could be sitting on great opportunity. No doubt you’re going to make mistakes. You’re going to blunder. Hopefully they won’t be big mistakes.

Let me give you one very sound piece of advice. Don’t buy a fax machine. You don’t need one anymore. All you need is an Internet fax service.

This is one example of a lot of things that you won’t need. If you open your doors for business, there’s going to be all kinds of people trying to get you to spend money on things you don’t need. So follow this rule of thumb. Question every expense. Do we need this? Is there a technology out there that will help me do without buying this expensive thing?

Follow that first bit of advice and you could be off to a rousing start for a successful new startup.
