SUMMARY: In this episode, you will learn my story. When I got out of the Army, I started my own business in landscaping. I had no issue when it came to the physical&nbsp;part of the business, but when it came to the &nbsp;business part of running the business.... ummmm well I failed... Big Time! I hope you enjoy this episode, I know I did. And check out part 2 of this episode on episode 29 IN THIS PARTICULAR EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: There are many things to consider when starting your own business. Haveing the proper skill set to do the job is essential, but haveing the business acumen to actually run the business is just as, if not more important. Thinks like:  Business entity (LLC, INC, etc.) Insurance (Coverage) Taxes Workers Compensation Payroll Estimates RFP (Requests For Proposals) Invoicing Payment Terms POS (Point Of Sale) Receipts Capital assets Depreciation Marketing Branding and so much more.  As you can see it doesn't take long before you have a rather substantial list of things you need to know about, know how to do, or hire someone to take care of for you. Without understanding how to do the business part of the business, your company will not last for very long. Take it from me I speak from experience.
