How you get to where you're going depends on where you are now. That holds true in planning a business too. We can't tell you what to do until we know what you've done and what you know.
It's a vague question really, however the best advice I could give is find out where you want to go, know why, get the best (tools, ppl, etc), and then fully jump into things. Don't allow you focus to shift and don't get discouraged if things don't always go your way.
1. Come up with an idea, product or service. Put it down on paper. You're more likely to succeed if you plan. Put down things like name of the business, what resources you need, short and long term business and financial goals. 2. Chart your way to financial success. What price do you intend to sell your product or service for? How much will it cost you to produce? Work out a roughly estimated profit remembering to factor in fixed costs like rent, energy etc. 3. Check out your competitors. How much are they selling a similar product for. Can you add something to it to make yours different and hence a better price? 4. Put down your Unique Selling Proposition. Also how are you going to market your product? Via newspapers, a website, through word of mouth? 5. Decide what type of business you would like to be -- an incorporation, LLC, etc. This is important for tax purposes. 6. Think of how you're going to finance your business initially. The bank, venture capitalists, angel investors, SBA grants(government), your own savings are all options. Remember the four F's for invesment: founders (people who share your idea), family, friends and fools. 7. Make your product(s) or service available to customers using your marketing strategy above. 8. Keep a close eye on your running costs and keep them in-line with your projections.
