I saw this article in the SMH a few years ago and thought it was interesting. It suggests seeking input/opinion from trusted family and friends before kicking off a business or practice. Then if that pans out OK then determine what financing is required. Look for available grants where they may be an option. Then take the idea to market and test it out. Then find a good coach and mentor to guide you through the business/practice maze. I think I would add that you need to have a written business plan with some reasonably conservative forecast assumptions to determine whether the idea will work financially. Perhaps the article will resonate with you.
