Before you leap into starting your own business, make sure you have the necessary business skills.  This is particularly necessary if you are a sole trader as you will need to carry out all aspects of the business including bookkeeping, administration, advertising, networking and so on.  Another necessary skill is the ability to delegate, don’t try and be the jack of all trades and master of none.  You will also need the right attitudes, such as drive, determination, initiative and motivation.  If you are not sure whether you have all of these skills, you could consider small business coaching which will help you to gain confidence in your weaker areas.
