Tips & Warnings

• Think "get rich slow." Most businesses take an average of three to five years to start drawing a salary, let alone profit.

• Keep your home and business financial accounts separate.

• Take a job for a few months in the field you are considering to make sure you enjoy the work before you take the plunge.

• Never pay money for a work at home or self employment package.

• Avoid borrowing money from friends and relatives, it could damage the relationship.

• Do not invest in businesses that skyrocket overnight, as they tend to fall just as quickly.

• If you are currently employed, do not share with supervisors or coworkers that you are considering this idea.

• If someone says this is an opportunity you cannot miss, you probably do need to miss it as this is a high pressure sales pitch.
