@Quickben, why do you want to get into business? Is it because you think that you can make a quick buck? Is it because you see successful business people and think that you could emulate them?
Business is hard. For every successful business person there must be 100 failures. Do not get into business for the wrong reasons. Business is not about earning a passive income and lying on the beach. Business is not about the money. Business is all about hard work and disappointment and achievement.
Business (and entrepreneurship) is about having a passion for what you are doing and believing in yourself. If you can do what you like and satisfy the customer better than the next guy, you may just have a business. If you do everything right, the money will come by itself, but do not start off with the money.
Take time to find your own niche. Once you've found something, make sure that that is what you want to do. I have seen so many businesses fail because the owner sees it as a job and gets imprisoned and caught up in a business which he hates. Rather hate your boss and fantasise about your dream business than to hate your business and fantasise about the job you had.
