I collected anything Disney related over the years just because I thought that with the Disney brand they will always be worth money. I open a eBay store a few months after I came back from my internship and have made great sales with all my products. It has giving me the option to run that business while I plan on my other business with the profits I make. If you did not have anything you collected check friends and family and ask them about anything they do not want and are willing to part with them for free.

Setting your plan up with a great presentation, PowerPoint, and even just a board is extremely important. You will be able to see your ideal clearly but for others it will be hard to visualize. You want to show them exactly what you see, a great business plan will help you do that. Your friends and family are close but it is there hard earn money they are lending you so make them believe. If they are able, try to borrow from them. If credits cards and loans are the route you choose, borrow just enough to get you started. When some people are using their credit cards sometime they forget the interest and paying back can add. If it is an option make this your last result because whether you make a profit or not you are on a time limit to pay them back and you do not want to risk bad credit.
