You’re in Business
So you want to start a business. Congratulations. That’s fantastic! Good luck. Starting a business is not that hard. Just offer a product or service that you can do and bam —you’re in business. The objective, however, is to make money out of it. Sometimes, the business may only last one day, and you make your money all in “one shot.” But most of the time, you want to maintain that business and make it last for a long time. For example, let’s say you buy an apple and turn around and sell it for more than what you paid for it. You’re in business. You made a profit. If you continue to buy apples and sell them for more than what you paid for them, at some point, you may be able to switch over and buy a PC. (Sorry for the pun.)
