Choosing the right business turns out to be a very counter-intuitive process for most. Simply because many begin their search in the wrong place asking themselves, “What do I enjoy?” In other words, if they enjoy fixing cars they immediately think "mechanic's shop." If they enjoy cooking, they naturally think about opening a restaurant. Or if playing guitar is their passion then a guitar lesson business is where they may begin their search.

The problem with this common-sense-way of searching is that it leads many to making common mistakes when choosing a business that's right for them. Allow us to explain.

Every business in the world has two very different sides to it—the technical side and the business side. The technical side is the actual product or service provided...auto repair, food, guitar lessons, etc. The business side of each business includes the business stuff...marketing, money, management, customer service, etc.

Of the two sides, which do you think will impact your career satisfaction more? You guessed it, the business side. And if you look closely you can see why.

The mechanic who loves cars—will have to love customer service even more. The chef who loves cooking for people—will have to love managing people in order to succeed. And the free-spirited guitarist may find he is bound to working mostly on weekends and evenings to better accommodate his students' schedules.

When choosing the right business to start one must think, first and foremost, about the business side of the particular business they are researching, not so much the technical side. Owning a business can become exciting and extremely rewarding once your characteristics, goals and aspirations match the business side of the endeavor you choose. So be as aggressive as you can in finding that match.
