Many people want to start a business of their own and often they look to the Internet to find a way. Unfortunately in doing this they misunderstand what business is really all about. Recently in consulting with a gentleman about starting a business and suggesting that he needed to develop a business plan; no sooner than I mentioned this and he was off picking a business name and registering an Internet Domain Name.

Once he did this he exclaimed I have already started. Well in reality did he really start a business or did he just buy a domain name online for $8 to $16.00? In fact he has no customers, no products, no services, nothing to sell yet. But he has a three page free-website, which came with his Domain Name. The funniest thing that happened next is he said; I need an investor. So how do I get one?

Well, can you see the problem here? The gentlemen thinks business is about setting up a website and immediately everyone will come and buy stuff from him, but the reality is that there are 5 plus Billion websites out there and why would anyone come to his brand-new three-page website, much less buy anything, which is great because he ain’t got nothing to sell any how.

You see registering domain names and getting on the Internet is not what a business is. A business is about so much more. A website for a dance studio is more about an electronic brochure than anything else. You need to focus on your business plan, not setting up a bunch of domain names and spending money right now, especially if your family is on a budget? Sure you will need a web presence eventually for your storefront or service business, but the fundamentals are also important; namely a business plan.
