5. Call on the Pros
Occasionally people start businesses thinking they can be the jack of all trades. Sometimes this is done to reduce costs, other times it is just sheer ignorance. Except you are 100% sure of what you are doing, you should be getting external help. You will need an accountant because dealing with taxes is no small feat. Accountants can also help you determine the best business structure to go with, guide you on tracking your expenses and dealing with much more financial groundwork. You would also need a lawyer to walk you through all the legal matters, paperwork, and other legal paraphernalia of setting up a new business. These are not things you want to do by yourself.
Getting professional help is not limited to getting an accountant or lawyer. Sometimes you need to get professional help for things you know to do well because juggling so many things often reduce our ability to do them well.
