Agreed with all. As for the web presence, I would put focus on Social Media and plan on using HootSuite to provide aggregates to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and others. Facebook and Twitter are commonly seen as representing businesses. You see that on ads, commercials, and business cards. The web presence must go beyond that of a website. But again, all that you mentioned is absolutely phenomenal.

Thanks for the list and i believe these are all important in starting a business. But my question is, what about the product?! I believe if you intend to "last" in the business that you are planning to put up, you should prioritize first the product that your going to sell to people. It could be an item or food or skill or information and the likes. How are you going to market it?! What is your target demographic?! Is your product seasonal?! Is it for everyday consumption that people would tend to buy it in a daily basis?! etc. After all, if it's a business, it's the product that is the main reason the business is getting income. And of course, with the help of all the things mentioned in this list :)

I know businesses ain't that easy as we begin with but If I or whenever I start a business, I always make countless hours of brainstorming and why I ever started it from the first place.
I put "helping others" as the center of my work. My scope is not to earn income (of course we need it primarily) but I treat it as a side effect of helping others and working hard for them.

If one would work out of concerning it's impact to the majority and how we can contribute to bringing better lives, It will give us more probability of a success.

I really hope I made my point here :)

Thank you for sharing! Also, we have to put in mind that business is still a "gamble" one way or another. It may not result to how we are expecting it to run for the first few months but, we have to stay positive and focus on our goal. Just don't lose hope until we get a hold of what outcome we wanted.
