The Way It Is!  

What's it like to owning a business? I found business ownership to be intensely creative, challenging, and stimulating; a very rewarding experience at the end of the day.

For individuals who would want to venture into business ownership, either starting from scratch, or buying an existing business wholly or a franchise, The Way It Is provides an honest, insider's window into the process of business ownership. Many would be entrepreneurs certainly have many questions just as I had before I founded Eastern Pharmaceuticals, questions like:

• How do I find a good business idea? Or, is the idea I have good enough?

• How do I obtain the money to start a company?

• Can I live on a reduced income until my company gets on its feet?

• Can I run a successful business, raise children, and still have a normal family life?

• What personal qualities does it take to found a successful business and do I have them?

• What education and experience is the best preparation for becoming an entrepreneur?

• What if I fail?

As I built my business I learned answers to these questions and many others. I hope that by sharing what I learned, you can improve your chance of success and minimize your mistakes.

What Must I Do to Start a Business?

The specific business you choose will have a significant impact on the work you perform every day. However, many tasks are the same across all types of businesses — things like obtaining permits, paying taxes, managing daily operations....... Start-up Resources.
