The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.





I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal %26amp; Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.





Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.

I have the same idea I would love to own my own massage therapy business. I have a passion for helping people so when you get one started let me know I might be interested in being a partner.
Get your license, go work for someone else for three to five years, keep your eyes and ears open, and you will learn enough to decide if owning a business is right for you...
