One important step before you start a business is doing fair business analysis / competitor analysis.

Hart, a marketing expert, offers tips competition analysis that includes the following steps:

• act as customers with enough money. Telephone competitors in your area and speak with a representative from the company as you are the potential prospects who are looking for information. You can inquire with the formula 5WH (Who, What, When, Where, Why and How) to provide intelligent questions and get answers about the strengths and weaknesses of your competitors. One of the most important things that must be successful you have to do is make them send their sales & information package to you, where the package will be explained about their products and services. Your competitors’ business literature will tell you in detail about their public image, and besides that you can learn the strengths and weaknesses of products and services they offer in detail. Make sure you also learn how they handle calls from customers, processing information requests, and how long the inquiry would eventually get to your hand. Can you offer better communication systems? How does the appearance of their business cards? Small things like this can give an idea about your own strengths and weaknesses, so it can be determined whether you can compete with them or not. Are you going to compete on price or service better?

• Must be able to rise from failure

I often say: “If business was easy, everyone would do that.” Starting a business is hard work and failures are in front of you at least in the first years. If you want to control their own business, you must be willing to fall and get up without giving up.

• Family support

When you start a business, you have to spend time away than with families. You must also be financially independent. You will face these obstacles without fear if there is family support and the people closest to you.

If your feelings easily hurt, then keep working on your premises that there is no threat, because business is not for you. Many days in business, the refusal to wait at every corner and you should be able to overcome the refusal.

False or exorbitant expectations

This, as everyone is an enemy that seems to be out but that is inside your head. On the Internet you’ll see irresistible offers, advertising greatly exaggerated, gurus, miracle products, promises of financial freedom, false witness, suspect alliances …

* Protecting Your Computer
Your computer is the lifeblood of your business and must be protected including the data stored therein. You need an antivirus, personal firewall, anti spy program and other anti ads. If possible store in a alternate disk all the valuable information in a backup, so if you have a mishap, you can recover all your important information.

* Buy a Domain
I highly recommend you buy a domain, it is true that there are many providers who give away the space to create your mini site, but the truth is that if you use this option, you and your business will give the appearance of lack of seriousness. Also add these free advertising you need and do not look bad to your site.
