When you're starting a business for the first time, it can be a little scary. That's why so many people want to start their first business in a big way—they don't want to make an investment that cannot be recovered, and they feel like if they go big, they will have more resources at their disposal. In reality, though, many successful businesses started out small and grew into large companies. When you are starting your first business, take the time to test your market and see if you have a viable product before investing too heavily in resources such as employees or advertising.
However, some do this because they fiind themselves wanting to have an office building, a company car, and a large staff to manage. This is not at all what most successful entrepreneurs start with! A small budget, some basic equipment, and no employees are the key components of many successful first-time businesses.
Some don't want to start small because they carry themselves so high, comparing their mates, those that started well and long ago before them.
If you are planning on starting your first business, be realistic about your resources. Start with the bare minimum and don't get ahead of yourself by trying to fulfill your every need. The less you spend on start-up costs, the more money you'll have for advertising and promotion!
