How to start a business? - Issues that occur

I don't have tips to start a business.

But I believe there are issues people face in starting a business and which are hard to deal with.

Money
Perhaps the biggest problem is, how to get money to get your business started. One can pitch their project somewhere, but there is lot of competition, so it can take ages before there is some money to get started.

Second question is then: do you really need that much money to start up a business? And if one doesn't need much money, how to proceed?

People
It sounds fun starting up a business, but you need people to support you starting up your business or to become partners.

Also a big problem, because where do you find people who are as dedicated as you are and won't try to steal your ideas and eventually your money?

Risks
How much risk is worth taking? It is good to take risks I believe, but to a certain extent. How to know how far one can go?

These are just a few. There will sure come up more and I will post them then. For these kind of points it is good to see them on screen or on paper and to keep reviewing these problems once in a while.

Perhaps we make things more difficult than they are and time will teach us if that is true.
