| I suggest writing a business plan out. Do research on how to write a business plan for a specific business. Things like start up costs and revenue expectations can help in deciding if it will work for you. It also helps with trying to get loans and business grants. |

| Richard Branson was still at school when he started his business. Get as much knowledge from people as you can. |

| To answer the original question, each of these areas does require some experience. People are paying for your knowledge and expertise. Having said that, some of these require a lot less knowledge that others. For example cleaning and personal shopper would not require near the experience that wedding planner and home inspections would require.With your training in desktop publishing you could also look at Photography, website design, and writing articles.Sorry, I can not answer which would make the most money. That is based on the area, number of clients, your expertise, your expenses, advertising, marketing and a whole lot of other business related information that is not available here. |

| You could start by not using childish abbreviations such as 'b4'. |

| Depends very much on the business.When my wife and I started our home based catering business, we had zero experience. All we knew was that she was a fabulous cook. We learnt everything through trial and error and after five years, we still do. I think experience is great, but hard work, persistence and loads of common sense will probably get you the same results in the end. When you think about it, as soon as you jump into it, you already start gaining experience right?Andrewhttp://www.positivemoneyideas.com |

| The best experience for running a business is experience of running a business. You cannot get that until you start up. It helps if you have experience in what you choose but you can always buy in experience. For example, if you want to run a photography business, you can bring in a good freelance photographer.Your role, as the business owner is to make sure the business runs well. To do that, you need a well thought out plan of what the business is going to do, where it's going to do it, how it will be marketed and what the finances are.One way to find out whether you're cut out for running a business is to enrol on a free one day course with Business Link about starting up in business. They cover all the things involved in running a business. We went on one over 10 years ago and out of the 20 on the course only 2 of us carried on and set up our own businesses within a year. It can save you making a costly mistake.If you do decide to go ahead, Business Link offer a lot of free advice and support. Whatever business you start, your web skills will not be wasted.Good luck! |

| Firstly, you wouldn't be wasting your time here, you would be having a go at something. It takes hardwork, dedication, long hours etc. etc. that's all!Try the thing you enjoy most. Every man & his dog are doing web design, are you good enough? Maybe concentrate on one part of it. Design is probably the most difficult and therefore in demand; its not somethiing you can actually learn. A lot of good, and technically proficient webdesigners haven't got the artistic flair, so maybe this is an area? |

| No experience is not a requirement, however I would advise learning before you go, also you will find that you will learn as you go. The only advice to give is that you must learn from your mistakes. Only then can you grow. They also say that 1 in 10 business succeed so you must be prepared to start 10 before you have a success. check out mine and let me know what you think, I have a free section within to help with business and self improvement. http://www.destinygiftsandgadets.co.uk |
