When entrepreneurs decide to explore a business idea and turn it to a business they have a burning desire to start quickly and as soon as possible. Yet, if you are not an experienced operator and want to start a business from the ground up the first question to ask is “What resources I have available to me to start a business and become a business owner?” Being methodical will not distance you from your dream but, will increase the chances for success and help lose less money along the way.
Identifying major resources needed for a startup
There are three major resources to consider before you start Time, Money and Skills. They are the foundation of every business endeavor. By being aware about what resources you have available, you will increase the chance for a successful start up and build a viable business. We will look in detail at each of these resources in subsequent articles.

I am afraid that some will steal my idea
Often I meet entrepreneurs worrying that their ideas may get stolen. They are reluctant to share any basic information and are overly protective. If you think that you can produce only one idea in your life you are better off not starting anything and keep your job. The odds that the first idea will be a hit are very small. The world is full of not realized brilliant ideas. Only materialized ideas make a difference.
