1） Do what you love.

You're going to devote a lot of time and energy to starting a business and building it into a successful enterprise, so it's really important that you truly deeply enjoy what you do, whether it be running fishing charters, creating pottery or providing financial advice.

2） Start your business while you're still employed.

How long can most people live without money? Not long. And it may be a long time before your new business actually makes any profits. Being employed while you're starting a business means money in your pocket while you're going through the starting a business process.

3） Don't do it alone.

You need a support system while you're starting a business （and afterwards）. A family member or friend that you can bounce ideas off and who will listen sympathetically to the latest business start up crisis is invaluable. Even better, find a mentor or, if you qualify, apply for a business start up program such as The Self-Employment Program. When you're starting a business experienced guidance is the best support sytem of all.

4） Get clients or customers first.

Don't wait until you've offically started your business to line these up, because your business can't survive without them. Do the networking. Make the contacts. Sell or even give away your products or services. You can't start marketing too soon. （See Attracting New Business on a Shoestring Budget and Just Do These Two Things to Get More Clients for tips.）

5） Write a business plan.

The main reason for doing a business plan first when you're thinking of starting a business is that it can help you avoid sinking your time and money into starting a business that will not succeed. （See Why You Need A Business Plan for other good reasons.）

Remember, you don't have to work through a full scale business plan for each new business idea you come up with; my Quick-Start Business Plan, for instance, will let you test the potential of your business idea much more quickly.

6） Do the research.

You'll do a lot of research writing a business plan, but that's just a start. When you're starting a business, you need to become an expert on your industry, products and services, if you're not already. Joining related industry or professional associations before you start your business is a great idea.

7） Get professional help.

On the other hand, just because you're starting a business, doesn't mean you have to be an expert on everything. If you're not an accountant or bookkeeper, hire one （or both）.（These Tips for Finding a Good Accountant may be useful.） If you need to write up a contract, and you're not a lawyer, hire one. You will waste more time and possibly money in the long run trying to do things yourself that you are not qualifed to do.

8） Get the money lined up.

Save up if you have to. Approach potential investors and lenders. Figure our your financial fall-back plan. Don't expect to start a business and then walk into a bank and get money. Traditional lenders don't like new ideas and don't like businesses without proven track records.

9） Be professional from the get-go.

Everything about you and the way you do business needs to let people know that you are a professional running a serious business. That means getting all the accoutrements such as professional business cards, a business phone and a business email address, and treating people in a professional, courteous manner.

10） Get the legal and tax issues right the first time.

It's much more difficult and expensive to unsnarl a mess afterwards. Does your business need to be registered? Will you have to charge GST or PST? Will you have to have Workers' Compensation Insurance or deal with payroll taxes? How will the form of business you choose affect your income tax situation? Learn what your legal and tax responsibilities are before you start your business and operate accordingly.

Following the advice on starting a business above will make starting a business both a smoother, less stressful process and go a long way towards ensuring the busines you start lasts and thrives.

1）投己所好

要开办一个企业并使其成为一个成功的公司，你需要投入大量的时间和精力，所以真正地享受你所做的事情是很重要的，不管那是渔船包租，制陶业，还是提供理财服务。

2）开办企业要保持有工作

人没钱能生活多久？不会久的。也许在你的新公司开始盈利前会有很长的一段时间。保持有工作意味着你在开办公司的过程中口袋里有钱花。

3）不要单枪匹马

开办新公司时（还有以后）你需要一个支持体系。一个能迸出好主意的家人或朋友，或一个能同情地倾听最近公司运转危机的人都是无价的。更好的是找个好顾文，或者如果你有资格，可以申请一个生意运转计划，如自雇资助计划。一个有经验的向导是你开办企业的最好支持体系。

4）首先要找好客户和消费者

不要等你的企业正式运营了才想起去找顾客和消费者，企业离不开他们。搞好人际关系网，找好门路，卖出甚至送出你们的商品或服务。销售活动展开越早越好。（查看以最低经费拉业务和只做这两件事就能得到更多的客户获取建议）

5）写一份企业计划

当你想要开办个企业首先要写好一份工作计划的主要原因是它能帮你避免你花费了金钱和时间的企业会失败。（查看你为什么需要一份企业计划的更多原因）

记住，不必为你想到的每一个主意都按部就班的按照计划执行，我的急速企业计划会让你更快的检验出你想法的可行性。

6）做好调查

写企业计划时你将会做大量的调查，但那只是个开始。当你开办一个企业时，你需要成为你所从事产业的一名专家，产品和劳务，如果你不是，在你开办企业前连接相关产业或者专业的社团是个不错的主意。

7）寻求专业帮助

另一方面，因为你在开办企业，所以并不意味着你必须是各方面的专家。如果你不是会计或者记账员，雇一个（或两者都雇）.（这些建议关于找好的会计也许会有帮助。）如果你需要写一份合同，你又不是律师，再雇佣一个。从长远来看，如果你自己去做那些你并不在行的事情会浪费你更多的时间和金钱。

8）筹好资金

不得以的话可以存钱。接近潜在的投资者和贷款人。制定出资金备用计划。不要期待着开了企业就去银行取钱。一般贷款人不喜欢新的想法，也不喜欢没有资金借贷记录的企业。

9）从一开始就做到专业

你的一切和你做事业的方式都应该使人感到你是一个专业人士在做着一项严肃的事业，那就意味着你所有的行头，如专业名片，一款商务手机和一个电子邮箱，还有待人接物都要以一种专业而又礼貌的方式。

10）首先要把法定的和税务上的事情理清

到最后才去理清这些会更困难更昂贵。你的公司需要注册吗？你需要交纳消费税或省销售税吗？你需要职工补偿保险或面对工资税吗？你对公司模式的选择会怎样影响你的情况？开办企业之前要了解并承担你在法律和税务的责任。

跟随上面的意见，使你的企业创办更顺利，更少压力，保证你创办的企业长久繁荣。
