Dear all,

I am in the process of starting my new business. Before rushing in I have decided to build a foundation of knowledge and experience in my chosen industry. Knowledge, after having a read quite a bit on the subject I have conclude amongst many things that finanical education and literacy is cruical to the survival of the business eg cashflow and in the next year I am planning to enrol on a part-time HNC Accounting course. Experience, I have contacted owners of related business and plan to shadowed and/or work in their businesses to gain a greater understanding.

Previously I have assisted in a small business before and decided to adopt this approach from the experience learned.

My question to all is do feel this approach is overkill and/or is there any area/skill that I maybe overlooking/neglecting?

thanks you all
Rassic
