If you run a business you don't like or don't believe in, even if you have temporary success, it will come back to haunt you one way or another. The easiest business to run is one that produces products or services that people already know they need. Most new businesses either forget about marketing, fulfillment, overhead costs, income taxes and self-employment or greatly underestimate them.

Most of the business owners mix and mingle their personal and professional finances. Even if you are a sole proprietor keep you business business, and your personal personal. Set up separate checking accounts and if you need some funds from your small business, write yourself a check, or make a cash withdrawal. This will help come tax time when you need to separate business expenses.Good luck..!
