Most importantly, start something that you are really passionate about, and then, turn your passion into a profitable business.

Well, a few years ago I wrote an article about starting your own home based business, where I made a list of green businesses that you can start from your home. I did that because I really wanted to focus on businesses that can improve our planet, and I wanted to show people that a green business does not require a large amount of capital to start. Anyone can start a green business to generate some extra income in their spare time. When you find your passion and turn it into profit, everything becomes easier for you.

Those of you who do not have any experience with running many types of business, you might want to start small. It might even be useful for you to find a job in the same industry that you are interested in and work for somebody else first. That way you will gain hands on practical knowledge about running a successful business and all the details.

To run any successful business, knowledge is the key. You should try to gather as much knowledge about running and managing a business as possible from all available resources that you can; before you go into business on your own.
