I agree with the others. Take it slowly. From other posts its sounds like you have some debt, so I'd focus on paying that down, since starting a business comes with a lot of costs. While you do that, you can check out free online resources and learn about how to do market research, prepare a marketing strategy, business planning, etc. I have heard the Small Business Administration has programs to help people interested in starting a business. I would imagine there's nothing in-person right now, but there could be online options.


As the others said, don't pay anyone, don't borrow money. Divine had an interesting idea of making some sample items to sell online to see if there is interest in what you are offering.
