Tips for Teens Wanting to Start Their First Business

By Patricia Gilliam

Starting a business in your teens can be one of the best decisions you can make for your life. The experience you gain will help you financially for the rest of your life, and you will have the opportunity to built wealth at an early age--likely retiring earlier than peers who purely take a job career route. There are a few things you need to learn to prepare however, and I want to share them with you.

1) It´s okay to fail in business. This may be surprising to some of you, but failure is one of the quickest ways to success-if you learn from it. It´s always better to learn from other people´s failures first-read business books and talk with any business owner you know who welcomes conversation. They can share with you things they wish they had known earlier. If you do make a mistake or something doesn´t go as planned, it´s not fatal. One of the things you have to learn is how to get back up and try something else-the quicker you can do that, the faster you can succeed.

2) Businesses don´t have to cost a lot of money. My husband and I own 6 web-based businesses. None of them cost more than $300 to get off the ground. Never go into debt to start a business-if something is going to cost a lot to start, use your creativity to figure out a way to get the money. Debt has a way of dragging you down financially-that includes personal debt such as credit cards as well. There´s also nothing wrong with working a job and starting a business at the same time-that´s how most adults start out.

3) Long-term, you goal should be to develop a business that runs as much as possible without your physical presence. Even adults mess up on this one-basically creating themselves a job instead of a business. With the Internet, you can see how it would be possible to sell something
