Here are nine tips which I think all the members can profit from:

1. Get Smart: Even if you are knowledgeable about your product, you may need to learn the practical aspects of running a successful business.

2. Get Advice: You can't be an expert on everything. Get adivse from as many different sources as possible.

3. Plan: Lack of planning is a major reason why many businesses fail. Planning ahead will help you succeed.

4. Protect Yourself: Before you start your business, make sure that you are protected from both legal and insurance aspects.

5. Avoid Hiring Employees: It's obvious that this isn't always possible. But the legal problems that come with hiring employees can take up a lot of your important time.

6. Purchase a Computer and Use It: There is so much information available on the internet that will help you with your business.

7. Persist: Don't give up easily. You will have good times and bad, be prepared.

8. Visualize Success: Always keep your goals in sight.

9. Don't Delay: When you believe that you have a good idea, go with it until you are proved otherwise.
