When should you start your business? How much money should you have? Will your friends understand you? Will you forget how to talk to people? Who do you live with? Starting a business doesn't mean you make money. Are you ready for this? Can you get a car loan? Can you get a mortgage? Can you rent an apartment? Most people want to start a business but have not.
