Well, I have for about a year now really, really, wanted to start a small business. I want to open a record store in my town. I think I could make it succeed, if I only knew how to go about all of this…  
OKAY so does anyone know of any resources on the subject of starting a small business? Name any good websites or books to read? Where do I get money… if I can… I have heard small business loans are difficult since you need good credit (and I have none, I’m only 19 [but I’m almsot 20! heh]). How many of you own your own business, and is it difficult to start one? ANy help greatly appreciated! Thanks!
