Make a short plan using these guidelines;

 

* What do you want to do?

Make sure its something you love or is a good fit for your personality or unique talents. Never do it just for the money.

* Who are your customers?  

 Why do they need or want you? How much can they afford to spend? Where can you find them to market your product or service?  How often will they buy your product? How long will they want your product or service? (for example; teens may only be your customer for 5 years or less) How likely are they to tell others about your product?

After you figure out your profit decide how many customers you need or want each week.  Start small and build this number over 1 year. Realistic goals are critical here!
