Sometimes creating a business about a subject you have little idea about is a really good thing to do. Strange as it sounds if you know too much about the subject you can end up not focusing enough on the business of doing business. I found the e-myth - revisited a great help in starting out and avoiding create a job instead of a business. My next hang up was having to lower myself to being a salesperson... image of dodgy car salesman... getting over the all salesmen/women are horrid issue seems to be a problem often had by new business people. The 1 minute salesperson was the key book for that issue. Look forward to exploring more of this site. Really good summary of what is needed.

Usually, starting a business itself is a risk, plus we are just adding more risk of success there. Of course, your points given definitely adds more value towards confidence from customers but never stop learning about our business will lead in proper way, I guess.

In my experience, it is better to start your business earlier in life than to "wait". As people settle into life, it is much more difficult to take the percieved risk of business ownership. I have been self employed for many years, and do not envy the 9-5'ers. For what it is worth, anyone considering a new businesses should look into contracting with the government. As most businesses are laying off, the government is still "hiring" by spending billions annually on contracts. My site has more information, it is http://www.contractingriches.com Good Luck...
