A friend and I have identified a need for certain products in the metro region in which we live.. Were confident that we can be successful in this market, which has a huge population base and demand for these products that is not being satisfied.. The problem is were both in grad school and taking programs unrelated to business or this industry. We dont have anything more than a general business background..We do have a little experience working in this industry, and also contacts that have experience..What do we need to do to make this dream a reality in the next 3-5 years? Im thinking start working and collecting start up capital, and also taking a few business courses and researching this market..Is this a good plan, and is it doable? Do we need more than 3-5 years to pull this off? What are the chances of success for two college kids?
      Answer1:Have you heard of that guy who created the `ATTITUDE` T-Shirt business? Peoples` didn`t like his attitude or criticize about his attitude. There he has got his name for his business and he has been doing well.All businesses have got risks. Usually, peoples` don`t do any bus sines that they are not sure of. I`ve never do any businesses before. I do not think that I can help you much.
      Answer2:go for it, if you dont, youll kick yourself when you see somebody else doing the same thing.Setting up a business is easier than ever now, If your working within a community then word of mouth could be your greatest asset here.I think its a great idea, if you get in contact with me ill pass on to you a link for a website that has helped me a great deal. It has step by step advice for each aspect of setting up a business.anyway, good luck with whatever you decide to do and keep at it.Michael D
