If your dream is to run your own business be it in retail, personal training and fitness or really, anything, then the main words of advice you can receive is this: Ignore everyone giving you advice on waiting until after the recession. Look, there’s there’s no telling if, when, or how we’re going to get free from this slump, but if you really want to do your part to help the economy, start by making more money. You can begin your own business for zero dollars down these days, so there’s no excuse to wait for a time of economic ease. Armed with the right book, you can go pretty far.

So what type of books are we after here? Well to begin with, you don’t need a degree, you don’t need to visit business school, but you should spend some time to really educate yourself on all aspects of running a business, because when you don’t have the money to pay other people to figure this stuff out for you, knowledge is your secret weapon.

Knowing Your Industry

You probably should start with an industry specific piece of literature to acquaint yourself with what you’re trying to do. So for example, in order to run a personal training business, Start Your Personal Training Business is one that comes highly recommended. Look at reviews and make sure that what you’re purchasing is a piece that really does cover every aspect of what you’re doing.

Marketing and Sales

Get a book on marketing, and get a RECENT book on marketing. The fact is that the internet and specifically high speed internet and portable digital internet devices have really changed the face of marketing to the point where advice that might have been solid twenty years ago rarely holds much water anymore.

Invest

You should know about investing, because truth be told, you can’t rely on your business one hundred percent of the time. It’s one thing to draw a regular check, but to run your own business, you will have slow seasons, but with investments, you can stay added to that and maybe even retire early.
