Well, I`ve mostly paid attention to old dead white guys, and didn`t take notes in school on the other folks. But...a journey`s a journey, even if it`s through the Steppes. Those are in Russia, right?

(laughing) I guess we`re officially off-topic... but when you`re right, you`re right. :)

Welcome! I`m up in Columbus! I`m sorry you`re burned out, but how great that you have an idea and a passion? Go for it. Leap and the net will appear!

Online and off, there are HUGE amounts of information regarding starting a business, much of it contradictory. Startup Nation here has put together a great resource for getting you started, the 10 Steps to Open for Business. While it is yet another source of information, what makes it different is that it will help you take action from step to step. Taking action and making progress is the key to doing something with the overwhelming amount of information one can learn about starting a biz. I recommend trying not to take it ALL in at once. Do things in stages.

Hello Derek,

I`m in agreement with Steve 100%. The "10 Steps" look like a great one-stop shop for business start-ups. What I might add (and I`m sure you thought of this)... Start with your "warm market". That is of course, being your friends and family. It seems a photo montage would make a great gift especially around the holidays. And, what a great way to introduce your circle of influence to your new business.

Good luck in your endeavor!
