1） Do what you love.

    You're going to devote a lot of time and energy to starting a business and building it into a successful enterprise, so it's really important that you truly deeply enjoy what you do, whether it be running fishing charters, creating pottery or providing financial advice.

    2） Start your business while you're still employed.

    How long can most people live without money? Not long. And it may be a long time before your new business actually makes any profits. Being employed while you're starting a business means money in your pocket while you're going through the starting a business process.

    3） Don't do it alone.

    You need a support system while you're starting a business （and afterwards）. A family member or friend that you can bounce ideas off and who will listen sympathetically to the latest business start up crisis is invaluable. Even better, find a mentor or, if you qualify, apply for a business start up program such as The Self-Employment Program. When you're starting a business experienced guidance is the best support sytem of all.

    4） Get clients or customers first.

    Don't wait until you've offically started your business to line these up, because your business can't survive without them. Do the networking. Make the contacts. Sell or even give away your products or services. You can't start marketing too soon. （See Attracting New Business on a Shoestring Budget and Just Do These Two Things to Get More Clients for tips.）

    5） Write a business plan.

    The main reason for doing a business plan first when you're thinking of starting a business is that it can help you avoid sinking your time and money into starting a business that will not succeed. （See Why You Need A Business Plan for other good reasons.）

    Remember, you don't have to work through a full scale business plan for each new business idea you come up with; my Quick-Start Business Plan, for instance, will let you test the potential of your business idea much more quickly.

    6） Do the research.

    You'll do a lot of research writing a business plan, but that's just a start. When you're starting a business, you need to become an expert on your industry, products and services, if you're not already. Joining related industry or professional associations before you start your business is a great idea.

    7） Get professional help.

    On the other hand, just because you're starting a business, doesn't mean you have to be an expert on everything. If you're not an accountant or bookkeeper, hire one （or both）.（These Tips for Finding a Good Accountant may be useful.） If you need to write up a contract, and you're not a lawyer, hire one. You will waste more time and possibly money in the long run trying to do things yourself that you are not qualifed to do.

    8） Get the money lined up.

    Save up if you have to. Approach potential investors and lenders. Figure our your financial fall-back plan. Don't expect to start a business and then walk into a bank and get money. Traditional lenders don't like new ideas and don't like businesses without proven track records.

    9） Be professional from the get-go.

    Everything about you and the way you do business needs to let people know that you are a professional running a serious business. That means getting all the accoutrements such as professional business cards, a business phone and a business email address, and treating people in a professional, courteous manner.

    10） Get the legal and tax issues right the first time.

    It's much more difficult and expensive to unsnarl a mess afterwards. Does your business need to be registered? Will you have to charge GST or PST? Will you have to have Workers' Compensation Insurance or deal with payroll taxes? How will the form of business you choose affect your income tax situation? Learn what your legal and tax responsibilities are before you start your business and operate accordingly.

    Following the advice on starting a business above will make starting a business both a smoother, less stressful process and go a long way towards ensuring the busines you start lasts and thrives.

    1）投己所好

    要開辦一個企業并使其成為一個成功的公司，你需要投入大量的時間和精力，所以真正地享受你所做的事情是很重要的，不管那是漁船包租，制陶業，還是提供理財服務。

    2）開辦企業要保持有工作

    人沒錢能生活多久？不會久的。也許在你的新公司開始盈利前會有很長的一段時間。保持有工作意味著你在開辦公司的過程中口袋里有錢花。

    3）不要單槍匹馬

    開辦新公司時（還有以后）你需要一個支持體系。一個能迸出好主意的家人或朋友，或一個能同情地傾聽最近公司運轉危機的人都是無價的。更好的是找個好顧文，或者如果你有資格，可以申請一個生意運轉計劃，如自雇資助計劃。一個有經驗的向導是你開辦企業的最好支持體系。

    4）首先要找好客戶和消費者

    不要等你的企業正式運營了才想起去找顧客和消費者，企業離不開他們。搞好人際關系網，找好門路，賣出甚至送出你們的商品或服務。銷售活動展開越早越好。（查看以最低經費拉業務和只做這兩件事就能得到更多的客戶獲取建議）

    5）寫一份企業計劃

    當你想要開辦個企業首先要寫好一份工作計劃的主要原因是它能幫你避免你花費了金錢和時間的企業會失敗。（查看你為什么需要一份企業計劃的更多原因）

    記住，不必為你想到的每一個主意都按部就班的按照計劃執行，我的急速企業計劃會讓你更快的檢驗出你想法的可行性。

    6）做好調查

    寫企業計劃時你將會做大量的調查，但那只是個開始。當你開辦一個企業時，你需要成為你所從事產業的一名專家，產品和勞務，如果你不是，在你開辦企業前連接相關產業或者專業的社團是個不錯的主意。

    7）尋求專業幫助

    另一方面，因為你在開辦企業，所以并不意味著你必須是各方面的專家。如果你不是會計或者記賬員，雇一個（或兩者都雇）.（這些建議關于找好的會計也許會有幫助。）如果你需要寫一份合同，你又不是律師，再雇傭一個。從長遠來看，如果你自己去做那些你并不在行的事情會浪費你更多的時間和金錢。

    8）籌好資金

    不得以的話可以存錢。接近潛在的投資者和貸款人。制定出資金備用計劃。不要期待著開了企業就去銀行取錢。一般貸款人不喜歡新的想法，也不喜歡沒有資金借貸記錄的企業。

    9）從一開始就做到專業

    你的一切和你做事業的方式都應該使人感到你是一個專業人士在做著一項嚴肅的事業，那就意味著你所有的行頭，如專業名片，一款商務手機和一個電子郵箱，還有待人接物都要以一種專業而又禮貌的方式。

    10）首先要把法定的和稅務上的事情理清

    到最后才去理清這些會更困難更昂貴。你的公司需要注冊嗎？你需要交納消費稅或省銷售稅嗎？你需要職工補償保險或面對工資稅嗎？你對公司模式的選擇會怎樣影響你的情況？開辦企業之前要了解并承擔你在法律和稅務的責任。

    跟隨上面的意見，使你的企業創辦更順利，更少壓力，保證你創辦的企業長久繁榮。
