So, you’ve decided you want to start your own business. You have a novel product to sell or an expert service to deliver. You’re sure of your abilities to produce products or deliver services. But you’re a little intimidated by the other rolls you must learn as a small business owner: salesman, marketer, accountant, human resources manager and more. Luckily there are a number of excellent resources for beginning entrepreneurs to learn the ropes of owning their own business. Among the wide array of resources available, the two that are most constantly cited by small business owners as the best available are the United States Small Business Administration and local Chambers of Commerce.

I am 20 years old and attending a community college here in Florida. I am taking courses to obtain my business administration degree but my ultimate goal is to own my own business. I wanted to jump into a business venture but I realize that it would be best if I attended school and obtained a degree. My thing is that everyday I wish that I was done with school and I was running my own business but I know that it will only come in time. I want to be involved in a business and get some first hand experience while I am still in school. I have stressed the resources at my school ad have attended chamber of commerce meetings but still have not been presented any opportunities to do so. Does anybody have any suggestions or resources for me? Thanks
