People very often feel uncomfortable in carrying on discussions about money, sometimes to the point of embarrassment. This can be chalked up to the generalized feeling of vagueness that seems to pervade much of the population when it comes to personal finances.

The first step is to examine whether or not starting a small business is right for you — not your neighbor, friend, coworker, or whoever else is trying to tell you that you should start your own business. Getting into your own business should be a burning desire for you.
